The arrest of the person with initials M. Rr. was carried out during the police operation codenamed “Usage”. He is accused of buying goods and settling debts using euro banknotes that are suspected to be counterfeit.

The investigation was launched after a report that an individual had defrauded a gas station, paying for the car fuel with suspected counterfeit euros.

As a result of the investigation, it was possible to identify, locate and catch the young man in the act. According to the blue uniforms, the incident allegedly happened at a gas station in the village of Sinaballaj in Rrogozhina, where the 24-year-old paid for fuel with three 20-euro banknotes, which are thought to be fake.

During the body search, 10 other banknotes of the same denomination, 20 euros, also suspected of being counterfeit were found in the arrested person’s wallet. They were taken as material evidence.

In total, law enforcement seized 13 20-euro banknotes, while investigations continue under the supervision of the Prosecutor’s Office to fully document the unlawful activity and uncover other possible accomplices.
