Durrës Prosecution Indicts Man for ‘Fraud’ With Serious Consequences, After Failing to Deliver Sold Properties, Causing €2 Mln in Losses
Durrës Prosecution Office concluded its investigation and charged A.T. with the criminal offense of ‘Fraud’ with serious consequences, as stipulated in Article 143/3 and Article 199/a/4 of the Criminal Code, concerning 25 cases. The legal entity “A C” Ltd. has also been indicted for the same offenses.
The security measure ‘Remand in Custody’, as provided for in Article 238 of the Criminal Procedure Code was imposed against this citizen, as part of the investigations into criminal proceedings no. 1748 of 2022. This measure was enforced by Dutch authorities on January 14, 2025, following the defendant’s declaration as wanted on April 8, 2024.
The investigations established that A.T., as the administrator of “AC” Ltd., along with the legal entity itself, obtained a construction permit (which remained unenforced due to outstanding obligations to the Municipality of Durrës) for the development of a multifunctional building. Following this, they entered into contractual agreements with various individuals in exchange for corresponding payments.
The investigation concluded that the defendant, A.T., through fraudulent means, entered into contracts for the sale of apartments, commercial units, and garages, receiving full payment under these agreements. The properties were never delivered to the buyers, thus causing a financial loss of €2,099,522 to them.
