Three persons arrested, a fourth not found during the raids and dozens of seized electronic devices. The international anti-mission operation through Call Centers, which the Signal newspaper reported in the early hours, has revealed new details. The investigation includes four people suspected of involvement in a fraud scheme targeting citizens in Germany through false investment platforms.
The signal newspaper has secured the identity of four involved in the investigation, as well as new details of the results of the operation held on 3 November in Kosovo.
Signal sources suggest the three people arrested are 32-year-old Milot Preteni, 37-year-old Ilir Haziri and 32-year-old Flamur Ziber.
Meanwhile, 37-year-old Agron Selac is the fourth suspected person to have not been found during checks at the residence.
According to information provided by the signal, there are doubts that Selac lives temporarily in Sweden. However, his whereabouts have not been officially confirmed.
Suspected fraud with investments dating back to 201920
Investigations are linked to an alleged criminal activity of 2019 and 2020, when persons involved allegedly acted as part of an extensive group in several European states.
In the target of the scheme, they were allegedly citizens in Germany, who were contacted through Call Centers and joseşhin to invest money in cross platforms.
These platforms were presented as opportunities for financial investment, while investigators suspect that through them citizens received money from false promises.
The investigation in Kosovo has started under international judicial co-operation, following German authorities’ request for legal assistance.
Four cars, 24 computers and other seized equipment
The November 3rd event is carried out by economic crimes investigators, supported by units for the investigation of cybercrime, criminalism and other specialised units.
The raids have been held at five locations in the Pristina and Ferizaj regions, under the order of the Foundation Court in Pristina.
The signal newspaper has also provided details of the items seized during the operation.
It’s four cars owned by suspects, four mobile phones, two laptops, 24 computer units and two DVR equipment.
Electronic devices are expected to undergo examinations to identify data that can help clear up suspected activities, communications and links between involved.
German Detectives and Europol Part of Operation
The operation has also had direct international participation.
Three police officials and a prosecutor from Germany, along with two Europol officials, have participated in the operation held in Kosovo.
Their presence relates to the joint investigation into alleged criminal activity, which, according to information provided, has had scope in several European states.
After the arrest, Milot Preteni, Ilir Haziri and Flamur Ziber have been interviewed and detained for 48 hours, with the State Prosecutor’s decision.
Suspects are being investigated for criminal acts: whether the participation or organisation of the organised criminal group, fraud and unauthorized computer access.
Meanwhile, the fourth person, Agron Selac, has not been found during the raids and remains part of the investigation.
The operation has ended with three arrested in Kosovo, but investigations continue to whitewash the full size of the alleged scheme, the role of each person and the purpose of money allegedly benefited through fraud.
All persons involved in the investigation enjoy presumption of innocence until a decision on the cut form.
Note: The people mentioned in this news are considered innocent until their guilt is confirmed by court’s firm form.
