A serious scandal that severely undermines public trust in justice is reported to have occurred at the Fier Prosecutor's Office.

There are suspicions that during the months that the voluminous file of the Chinese oil company "Bankers Petroleum Albania" remained at the Fier Prosecutor's Office, many names of family members of people in the judiciary and politics have disappeared from the files.

For weeks, the file has been passed to the Special Prosecution Office in Tirana, but it is mutilated because many names of people and companies involved in the fraud with the Chinese "Bankers" over 20 years have been deliberately omitted.

The list of persons who have been deleted from the investigative file includes the two owners of the auditing company "LEAL Auditing Sh.pk", citizens Leze Abazi and Eda Abazi.

They turn out to be mother and daughter and own 100% of the shares of the auditing company, which in 2019 audited the Financial Statements of the Chinese oil company "Bankers Petroleum Albania", issuing it at a loss in order to avoid paying the relevant obligations to the state worth millions of lek.

Even though "Bankers Petroleum Albania" has sold thousands of tons of oil, accumulating profits in billions of lek, the auditing company "LEAL Auditing Sh.pk" has profited 30 million old lek in 2019, less than a neighborhood minimarket.

The scandal is not just that.

It turns out that mother and daughter, the two shareholders of the "Bankers" auditing company, are respectively the wife and daughter of Luan Abazi, Secretary General of the General Prosecutor's Office. So, the head of the Fier Prosecutor's Office, Elion Mustafaj, has deleted the names of his boss's family members from the investigative file.

It remains to be seen whether the Special Prosecution will conduct a full reinvestigation of the "Bankers Petroleum Albania" affair, in which there are hundreds of shady connections between Chinese owners, Albanian officials who have helped falsify and approve false balance sheets only at a loss, as well as the families of people in the judiciary and politics who have been fattened with money that should have gone to the state coffers.

During the preliminary investigations, sufficient evidence was collected to identify the fraud scheme that the oil company has been carrying out over the last 20 years.

Specifically, " Bankers Petroleum Albania " has carried out exports and sales within the country from 2004 to 2024 in the amount of 532,433,614,112 lekë.

However, it turns out that the company has declared tax expenses in amounts that exceed revenues from exports and sales, resulting in losses in each fiscal year, where the total value for all periods is 11,691,799,688 lek.

From the investigation, it is suspected that the damage caused to the state budget through VAT benefits is in the millions of euros.

And this has happened through the fake audit of Financial Statements, by the company "LEAL Auditing Sh.pk", but also others over two decades./ Newsbomb
