The Special Court has changed the security measure for  Merxhan Çeliku , the 32-year-old accused of being part of a criminal group that allegedly embezzled 50 million euros through call center fraud.

The decision was made yesterday by Judge Erjon Çela, who accepted Çeliku's request to change the security measure imposed in absentia in November 2022.

The young man was arrested in Abu Dhabi after 2 years on the run and then extradited to Albania. 

In November 2022, an international operation led by Eurojust, Europol and the Spanish police in cooperation with SPAK, uncovered 15 call centers of the criminal group.

 They were distributed in Albania, Georgia, Ukraine, and North Macedonia, where they deceived citizens by inviting them to invest in cryptocurrencies.

Çeliku is also known as part of Amant Josifi's group, which is wanted by several European countries for call center fraud.
