Bera

The Berat Prosecution has charged the former head of the State Intelligence Service in Berat, Aleksander Shulla, with keeping secret materials at home even after leaving office in 2023.

The prosecutor's office's announcement states that the materials found in the apartment of the senior secret service official were classified at the "secret" level and are administered at SHISH in a single copy.

The police also found ammunition on Aleksander Shulla, for which he did not have the appropriate permit.

The verifications regarding the former head of the Berat SHISH came after checks at the premises of his son, Pandeli Shulla, following reports that the latter was organizing games of chance, which turned out to be true.

Announcement from the Berat prosecutor's office: 

The former director of the State Intelligence Service in Berat, citizen A.Sh. and his son, P.Sh. have been investigated by the Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Berat for the criminal offenses of 'Organizing or conducting gambling activities in violation of the law', 'Unauthorized possession and production of weapons, explosive weapons and ammunition' and 'Revelation of state secrets by a person entrusted to him' provided for by articles 197/1, 273/3 and 294/1 of the Criminal Code.

According to the Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Berat, from the investigations into criminal proceedings no. 370 of 2023, following information that in an environment in the '30 Vjetori' neighborhood in a bar run by citizen P.Sh., games of chance were being played, computers of various brands were found, turned on and online games similar to those of Adex Casino were displayed on the screens.

From technical verification, it was proven that through an application or software installed on these electronic devices, by connecting to the internet, online games of chance were being played.

During the investigation, a search was conducted of the apartment of citizen A.Sh., his father, where a bronze-colored metal comb with 5 unexploded 7.62 mm caliber cartridges, a black handbag inside which 3 combs were found, each filled with 7 7.62 mm caliber cartridges, and two USBs with the inscriptions "Turbox" and "Kingston".

This citizen, who served as Director of the Berat Intelligence Service, explained that in November 2023 he was dismissed from his post and handed in his weapons, but he forgot to hand over the ammunition found in the apartment by the police services. He explained that the 7.62 caliber cartridges are cartridges from old weapons that he found in the old ShIK building and took as a souvenir and forgot in the apartment.

But from the verifications carried out by the prosecution it resulted that the weapons had been returned and this was also proven by the entrance ticket located in the institution. Meanwhile, from the verifications carried out it resulted that, two of the materials located on the USB with the name "USB drive" are classified at the "secret" level and are administered in SHISH in a single copy. Their copying or multiplication is prohibited and in violation of the acts that regulate the work of SHISH.

The receipt of these materials in violation of the rules on the security of classified information, which has resulted in their partial or complete exposure, in an unauthorized manner, constitutes a violation of the security of classified information.

At the end of the preliminary investigations, after a thorough analysis of the data and evidence obtained, we conclude that there is sufficient evidence that the defendants P.Sh. and A.Sh. have committed the criminal offenses for which they are accused. It is definitively proven that the defendant A. Sh. was an employee of the State Intelligence Service on duty and copied materials that, according to publicly known law, constitute a state secret, and were entrusted to him due to his duty.

The receipt of these materials in violation of the rules on the security of classified information, and their distribution on two USBs inside the defendant's apartment, when he was no longer performing his duties as an employee of the state intelligence service, which resulted in partial or complete exposure, in an unauthorized manner, constitutes a violation of the security of classified information.
