Former State Intelligence Service (SHISH) director Vlora Hyseni is facing two additional criminal charges – passive corruption involving senior public officials and money laundering – amid an ongoing investigation into the alleged AKSHI corruption scandal.

Sources confirmed for albaniandailynews.com that investigators have traced three financial transfers from companies linked to Ergys Agasi to businesses in Germany allegedly connected to Hyseni's two brothers.

Two transfers of €250,000 each were completed and reportedly reached a company linked to one of Hyseni's brothers. A third transfer, worth approximately €450,000 and allegedly intended for a company connected to her other brother, was cancelled after the German company was found to be bankrupt.

Investigators suspect the funds may have originated from the alleged AKSHI scheme and could have been used as bribes in exchange for information and support allegedly provided to Agasi by Hyseni.

The findings reportedly emerged from telephone examinations and other investigative measures conducted by prosecutors Altin Dumani and Bledar Maksuti.

Ferhati stressed that the suspected financial transactions are part of the ongoing investigation, which is examining possible links between the companies, the alleged payments and the relationship between Hyseni and Agasi.

The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities seeking to establish the origin and purpose of the transfers and determine whether other individuals were involved.
