The Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Klodian Braho, spoke today for SPAK, where he stated that this structure has faced a greater workload, while adding that the proactive approach to investigations will be strengthened.
Braho valued the importance of cooperation with institutions for a better result, mentioning the need for a more supportive role from the State Police.
Braho: SPAK has been faced with a greater workload, more complex issues, higher public expectations and rapidly changing forms of crime. High-level corruption, organized crime, money laundering, cryptocurrencies, encrypted communications require more specialized, more technical and more sustainable institutional responses.
The fight against corruption and organized crime cannot be limited to pursuing individual perpetrators, but must target the structures, profit mechanisms, support networks, and assets that enrich from criminal activities. For this reason, financial and asset investigations will be an essential part of our work.
SPAK will strengthen the proactive approach to investigation. Organized crime does not wait to be referred, it must be identified, analyzed and tackled through criminal intelligence, financial analysis, international cooperation and the use of modern tools. This requires specialized prosecutors, trained investigators, financial analysts and experts.
It is important that new challenges are accompanied by new budgetary support. This support should not be seen as an institutional privilege, but as an investment in the capabilities of justice institutions to fight corruption, organized crime and money laundering as effectively as possible.
