Korça Prosecutor’s Office completed its investigations and took six employees of Devoll Municipality, to court on charges of 'Falsification of Documents' as stipulated in Article 183/3 of the Criminal Code.

The investigations into criminal case No. 326 of 202 have revealed that the following individuals are responsible for the criminal offense they are accused of: G.K., Director of the Utility, Community, and Administrative Services Agency; A.C., Head of the Services Sector at the Public Services Agency; K.M., Head of the Transport Sector at the Public Services Agency; E.N., Warehouse Worker in the Financial Management Sector; and the drivers  H.Ç. and J.B.

B.N. filed a report involving these individuals in the procurement process of goods and construction materials needed by Devoll Municipality. The complainant alleged that after the winner was declared, the procedures for receiving, storing, and removing the goods and equipment were conducted fictitiously, with the materials being used in various projects by municipal employees.

Following the investigation and examination of video footage, the Prosecutor's Office confirmed that the vehicles designated for transporting materials did not move, either upon entry or exit, during the entire period specified for the transportation of gravel and filling material, as documented in the travel logs and records of the material transport operations.

Regarding the aforesaid, the analysis of the investigations indicated that the vehicles did not justify the fuel expenses claimed, nor the routes listed for transporting gravel for road construction. The vehicles did not move from the warehouse at any point during the entire period, yet expenses for fuel use and material transport were recorded, even though the transportation was not carried out with these vehicles. The expenses are unjustified and reflect false information regarding the routes taken for transporting materials for roadworks.

In light of these circumstances, those responsible for signing the travel logs with false information have committed the criminal offense of “Falsification of Documents”.
