After the microcredit fraud scandal, the Ministry of Justice has ready the draft for the legal changes for the private enforcement service.
Minister Ulsi Manja in a statement to journalists said that these changes are expected to be submitted for public consultation and that it is intended to strengthen the control and monitoring mechanisms of the Ministry of Justice over this service.
"In terms of institutional and legal treatment, I consider this process to be excessive. There is a working group that works and meets almost every week with the Bank of Albania, experts from the ministry and the prime minister's office. A clear action plan has been defined on how to avoid this phenomenon, it is not the dimensions of that phenomenon that have been said in the media. We have prepared the legal changes for the private enforcement service. We have sent it to the National Chamber of Private Enforcement, we have not yet submitted it for public consultation. As for us as the Minister of Justice, we think of a package of changes in that law, to strengthen the control and monitoring mechanisms of the Ministry of Justice over this public service", said Manja.
Also, the minister informed that all the bank accounts that have been blocked due to this process have already been released.
"All bank accounts blocked in this process have already been unblocked in a cooperation we had with the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana. There are no blocked bank accounts. Assets have a different procedure", said Manja.
It is about the customer accounts of "Micro Credit Albania" (MCA) and "Final", the two companies involved in the microcredit fraud scheme.
