The head of the Special Prosecutor's Office, Altin Dumani, in a confession for Alban Dudushi's "3D" show on RTSH, stated that Sky ECC and Encrochat exposed the links of crime with politics, justice and the police.
Dumani pointed out that based on the data obtained from SKY EÇ, a clearer panorama of Albanian organized crime was created, "of the geographical extent, of the targeted activities of Albanian organized crime, of alliances with other criminal groups non-Albanian, of financial strength".
"Sky ECC is one of the pieces of evidence handled during the preliminary investigation phase. But also the cooperation within the SKY ECC is another indicator of the level of law enforcement they have at SPAK and that gave SPAK the opportunity to work with evidence of this nature, thanks to the data obtained from SKY, we already have a clearer panorama of Albanian organized crime, of the geographical extent, of the targeted activities of Albanian organized crime, of alliances with other non-Albanian criminal groups, of their financial power.
Also, the criminal proceedings when we used SKY gave us the opportunity to expose the connections of organized crime with politics, with judges, with prosecutors, with high-ranking police officials and with high-ranking representatives of the administration", said Dumani.
Dumani, during the interview, also emphasized the fight against organized crime that SPAK is developing, since Albanian organized crime is spread almost all over Europe, even to Latin America.
"Albanian organized crime is mainly oriented towards the trafficking of hard drugs. It is not only a problem for Albania, but also for many countries in Europe, up to Latin America. We have increased international cooperation. We have cooperation with Italy, we have joint investigative groups. We have dealt big blows to organized crime. We have cooperation with Belgium, France, Germany, England, but also Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, etc. Many high-ranking figures of the international investigation have visited SPAK. We have a lot of work to do and there is a need for intensification and given this level of cooperation I believe there will be more hits. We have done an analysis of organized crime groups for their financial power. The most preferred field is investment in real estate, construction, hotel, etc. We seized 6 million euros during this year," Dumani said.
