"Hello. How were you? How are you? I am Taulant Balla. I urgently need 100 thousand euros", this is the message that the organizer of a scam sent to a businessman in Përrenjas.

Officers examined the phone of citizen Flamur Rrushi, who reported that a number in the Viber application, identified as Interior Minister Taulant Balla, deceived him.

According to the sources of the journalist Anila Hoxha, it was discovered that the owner of this account is the citizen with the initials F.Gj, who is currently under investigation and several arrest warrants have been issued against him for the same fraudulent scheme.

The businessman, according to the fraudster's request, came to Tirana with a bag of 100,000 euros and handed it over to a taxi driver.

"I took note of the taxi driver's license plates," the businessman told the police.

The prosecution of Elbasan identified the taxi driver, who stated "I was a taxi driver, I came to Tirana from Lezha and took the bag from Flamur Rrushi. I asked him first if it is dangerous and he said no. When I gave him the bag, he gave me 100 euros", said the taxi driver, who was released./ TCH
