The action was carried out as part of an investigation into the international laundering of proceeds obtained from drug trafficking. This investigation is being conducted by the Italian and French authorities, coordinated by Europol and Eurojust, in close cooperation with the Special Prosecution and Kosovo Police, Insjaderi writes.

According to the media outlet, citing sources from within the operation, one of those arrested is Dohan Hasani.

This operation is a continuation of a broad investigation, which in September 2025 had resulted in the freezing of assets worth more than 30 million euros.

The focus of the action was on two Kosovo citizens living in the province of Alessandria. Both, who had long been under surveillance by Italian prosecutors, were arrested in France last September after being stopped while traveling by car. During the search, officers discovered more than 50 kilograms of high-quality gold bars in the lower part of the vehicle. After analyzing the seized documents and exchanging judicial information with the Kosovar authorities, the Guardia di Finanza managed to identify and seal the couple’s foreign safe, which included bank accounts, businesses, real estate and luxury vehicles.

Checks on the assets uncovered a complex money-laundering mechanism. In just ten months, the organization had managed to accumulate at least 18 million euros from drug trafficking profits in France. The cash was gradually stored at the apartment of the two suspects in Alessandria and was then converted into gold bars and sheets. This key phase was made possible through cooperation with operators specialized in the melting and processing of precious metals, located throughout Lombardy and Piedmont.

The conversion of cash into gold was intended to make it more difficult to trace the source of the illegal funds and at the same time to make it safer to transport the capital abroad, with shipments going not only to Kosovo, but also to Turkey and Morocco.

During a press conference, he underlined that the Special Prosecutor’s Office is dealing with sensitive cases which, according to him, carry particular weight because of international cooperation and the impact they have on the justice system in Kosovo.

“Fighting organized crime is an ongoing priority of the Special Prosecutor’s Office. The operation of June 30 sends a clear message that the Special Prosecutor’s Office will work closely with law enforcement authorities to strike criminal groups,” Isufaj said during the press conference.

He explained that on June 30, the Kosovo Police, under the leadership of the Special Prosecutor’s Office, carried out several raids as part of investigations into the transnational laundering of proceeds obtained from drug trafficking.

According to Isufaj, two people had initially been arrested in September 2025, while this operation came as a result of close inter-institutional and international cooperation, built on the exchange of information to combat organized crime.

He stressed that such actions are being carried out in coordination with the authorities of Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Great Britain, Albania and other partner countries, which, according to him, have appreciated the level of cooperation with Kosovo’s institutions.

Isufaj added that the June 30 operation is only one of several operations undertaken in recent weeks against criminal groups.

“A few weeks ago, operation ‘White Star’ ended with the arrest of five people suspected of participation in an organized criminal group. Also, as part of the same investigation, during the month of April another operation was carried out that resulted in further arrests,” Isufaj said.

In the end, the chief prosecutor announced that the Special Prosecutor’s Office will continue with similar operations in cooperation with local and international partners, with the aim of striking organized crime networks and confiscating assets obtained illegally.

At a press conference, Auditor General Vlora Spanca and Deputy Auditor General Bezad Halilaj presented the main findings, emphasizing that the audits continue to highlight repeated weaknesses in the management of public finances.

According to Spanca, 145 audits are planned for the 2025/2026 season, and 102 of them have already been published. She said that by June 30, 88 mandatory regularity audits and 12 audits of public enterprises are expected to be completed, while the other Compliance, Performance, classified audits and World Bank project audits are expected to be concluded according to plan during the year. She also said that the Annual Audit Report for the Kosovo Budget is expected to be submitted to the Assembly of Kosovo no later than August 31, 2026.

She announced that from 94 financial and compliance audit reports, 55 qualified opinions, 4 adverse opinions and 35 unmodified opinions have been issued.

In public enterprises, according to Spanca, 4 adverse opinions and 5 qualified opinions have been identified.

According to the NAO, among the most pronounced problems are inaccuracies in financial reporting, violations of procurement procedures, as well as deficiencies in the management of contracts and public spending.

The report presented today identifies systematic violations at both the central and local levels. These include entering into obligations without budget coverage, contracting projects without secured funds, delays in implementing capital investments and failure to comply with public procurement procedures.

Late payments, staff engagements outside legal procedures and insufficient use of the e-procurement system were also found.

A notable part of the report relates to the Municipality of Prishtina, for which the NAO issued a qualified opinion on the financial statements and an adverse conclusion on compliance.

According to the report, 52 cases of incorrect classification of expenditures were identified there, worth more than 7.7 million euros, an overstatement of contingent liabilities of more than 27 million euros, as well as inaccuracies in receivables and financial liabilities.

The NAO also expressed concern over a project with UNDP, where 5.2 million euros were transferred as a prepayment, while according to the report, full institutional monitoring and transparency over its implementation are lacking.

The same report also highlights numerous violations in procurement procedures, including errors during the evaluation of bids, failure to include positions in contracts and deviations in the final values of projects.

Cases were also found of contracts being signed without budget coverage, as well as the start of works without the necessary construction permits in major infrastructure projects.

Spanca further stated that during 2025, payments through court decisions exceeded 45 million euros. She added that payment delays of up to 131 days were also recorded, as well as a lack of documentation for the accurate allocation of interest and enforcement expenses.

In some cases, she said, subsidies were allocated without open competitive procedures, including the financing of non-governmental organizations, which according to Spanca constitutes a violation of the rules of transparency and equality in public financing.

As part of the performance audits, Deputy Auditor General Bezad Halilaj said serious deficiencies were found in several public institutions.

For “Termokos,” the report mentions unequal heat distribution, a weak billing system and a lack of backup capacity.

At the Agency for Comparison and Verification of Property, problems were noted with the electronic system, a lack of complete data and irregular inspections.

Meanwhile, at the University of Prishtina, the SEMS system was assessed as having shortcomings in IT governance, data security and dependence on external operators.

Finally, the NAO called on public institutions to treat audit recommendations seriously, emphasizing that their aim is to improve governance and increase accountability in the management of public money.
