Fier Prosecution Office wrapped up the asset investigation and seeks the seizure of five apartments, two service units, 16,719 m² of agricultural land, and shares in five companies owned by citizen Arjan Hyka and others associated with him, as it was identified that these assets were generated through suspected criminal activity.

As part of asset investigation proceeding no. 1, dated July 1, 2025, Fier Prosecution Office investigated properties held by A.H., M.H., A.H., A.H., and K.H., as well as five companies under their ownership, and identified assets not justified by legitimate sources.

The investigation found that A.H., the sole shareholder of the company “A…” Ltd. declared having financed the company with an amount of 100,072,890 lek, which lawful financial sources can not justify. Through this company, additional companies were subsequently established and distributed among family members.

The investigation further revealed that fictitious transactions were carried out to justify the declared amount, without any real financial capacity to generate such funds from lawful sources. On the contrary, most of these transactions were conducted outside the banking system, in cash and through non-notarized agreements, in an apparent effort to obscure the origin of the funds invested in the company.

The amount of 100,072,890 lek, not supported by lawful or properly declared sources, served as the foundation of the subsequent economic activity of the companies involved, and was recorded in their financial statements as legitimate capital and later used for various investments, including the purchase of vehicles and the generation of income distributed as salaries and dividends. These proceeds were then further reinvested in real estate and company shares, establishing an economic cycle ultimately rooted in an unexplained and unjustified source of funds.

A.H., convicted by the Italian authorities for laundering the proceeds deriving from drug trafficking, is believed to have brought into Albania monetary sums originating from criminal activity in the narcotics trade. The investigation also found that several drivers employed by companies owned by the entities under review, “A….” Ltd., and “A… T….” Ltd., were caught transporting undeclared cash across the border, under circumstances raising suspicions about its origin.

Fier Prosecution Office, concluding the comprehensive asset investigation, seeks the seizure of several immovable properties registered in the names of A.H. and M.H., as detailed below:
1.    An apartment of 135.60 m², located in Fier Municipality; 
2.    An apartment of 127 m², located in Fier Municipality;
