From the administered acts, it results that the Judicial Police Services of Unit "E" for the Investigation of Economic and Financial Crime, in the Investigation Directorate, in the Criminal Police Department, at the General Directorate of the State Police, in cooperation with other Law Enforcement Agencies in the country, have collected and referred data on the involvement in corrupt actions of officials of the Agricultural University of Tirana, actions spread over a long period of time, in the process of preparing and developing public procurement procedures.

During the investigation, legal violations were identified by the responsible persons at the academic level at UBT, citizens; RK, and IK, with the position of vice-rector at the Agricultural University of Tirana, BB, with the position of head of the Department of Preclinical Modules at UBT, who at the time of the project design and the provision of funds at the National Agency for Scientific Research and Innovation (AKKSHI) carried out actions in collaboration with the head of the contracting authority, citizen ET, with the position of Administrator of UBT.

The illegal actions of the above persons consisted in the preparation of fictitious project data, with specifications prepared by the economic operators competing and winning in these procurement procedures. After the funds were secured by AKKSHI, the illegal actions of the contracting authority continued in the preparation phase and during the development of the procurement procedures, the actions of the commission for calculating the limit fund and technical specifications or terms of reference, continuously coordinated with the illegal actions of the procurement unit and the bid evaluation commission.
