"Spain demands the extradition of the "king of fraud", Amant

The Spanish newspaper El Pais has devoted an article to the efforts of the authorities, which demand the extradition of the Albanian businessman Amant Josif from Dubai to Spain.

In an article by journalist Rebeka Carranco, it is said that "a prosecutor, a judge and a police team have been fighting for almost six years to dismantle what they consider to be a global network for defrauding thousands of people with fake financial investments".

The objective, the article says, is to achieve the extradition of Amant Josif, 35 years old, a well-known Albanian businessman, former advisor to the Ministry of Defense, now resident in Dubai.

"The court has requested it since November of last year, when a European operation took place in Albania in several call centers owned by Josif, where employed persons deceived citizens from all over the world.

They found no trace of the businessman and since then he is officially listed as a fugitive from justice.

According to the extradition order, investigators accuse him of having played "a leading role in an international criminal organization that, through the use of social engineering, benefits from the systematic execution of highly sophisticated frauds," El Pais wrote.

"Josif enjoys political and social support in his country, which experienced the operation of his arrest a year ago like an earthquake. As well as his subsequent official arrest on September 4 in Dubai, from which he was released, pending an extradition request to Spain. The head of investigative court number 2 of La Seu d'Urgell did so on September 15, with an order appealed by the defense of the businessman. The investigation involving Josif is one of the most important carried out in Spain and Europe, which also includes other countries, such as Germany, Finland or Sweden. Police estimate there are more than 235,000 'victims' of an organization that makes 400 euros a minute and 50 million every quarter and changes names, domains and countries every time someone tries to stop it. In Spain alone, they have discovered around 17,000 potential 'victims'.

In the city of La Seu d'Urgell alone, 47 cases have been identified, in a fraud of more than 3.3 million, and another 500 complaints throughout the territory", the article says.

In this context, the investigators claim that Amant Josifi has the main role and therefore the judge requests his extradition to Spain.

On the other hand, the businessman claims that he only rented call centers and distances himself from any criminal activity. His defense lawyer Gonzalo Boye says that Josifi is at the disposal of the court, and has even been offered several times to testify by video conference.

He argues that extradition does not comply with the principle of "proportionality", unless the objective "is only and exclusively to imprison Joseph".

Therefore, he argues that his extradition would be a "disproportionate, unnecessary and inappropriate measure, the issuance of the extradition request is in open violation of Union regulations."

Meanwhile, the court insists that there is a high risk of escaping and repeating the crime, in a battle where the Court of Lleida in Spain already has the penultimate word, closes the article of the major Spanish newspaper.
