The Special Court's appeal upheld the first-instance decision for Arben Meskuti, arrested in connection with the "Microcredits" case, leaving the latter in prison.

Meskuti is being held in a detention cell on suspicion of defrauding thousands of debtor citizens through microloans. The latter is the owner of several financial companies that set up a pyramid scheme.

The criminal proceedings for the microcredit fraud scheme began in February 2020 by the Tirana prosecution, following a report filed by the Ministry of Justice, where the prosecution discovered that the 5 companies Micro Credit Albania, ADCA, SHP Zig, FS, FLASH, received from a second-tier bank 3,999 loans considered bad and unpaid over the years with a total amount of around 7.3 million euros.

In December of last year, the Tirana prosecutor's office declared incompetence over the microcredit file, referring it to the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
