The scandal known as the "Bankers Affair" has taken on even wider proportions after the evidence of economic damage reaching tens of millions of euros, while investigations have so far produced security measures against several former company officials and persons involved in the suspected schemes.
After the first arrests executed by the Fier Prosecution Office, the case has expanded significantly to include more in-depth investigations into the chain of responsibilities within the tax administration, local government structures, and officials who are suspected of having allowed abuses with VAT and other fiscal obligations for years.
The investigations into the Bankers scandal are expanding. SPAK is investigating the tax administration and local public and elected officials.
After transferring the file from the Fier Prosecutor's Office to the Special Prosecutor's Office, two prosecutors Anita Jella and Enkeleida Millonai have also put the actions of the tax authorities that have allowed SPAK's abuses over the years into the investigation.
In a response from SPAK, it is stated that this file is being investigated for "Creation of fraudulent schemes related to value added tax", "Hiding income", "Laundering the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity", "Abuse of office", "Failure to perform duties by tax authorities", "Passive corruption of senior state officials or local elected officials", "Structured criminal group" and "Commitment of criminal offenses by a criminal organization and a structured criminal group". / Weblajm
