New details have come to light regarding the file of Milena Deraj, who managed to benefit through fraud of almost EUR 600.000 from her friend Elira Shyti and the Ferracaku family. 

It was Elira Shyti who introduced Milena to a cousin of Abedin Ferracaku, who together with his 3 family members are in court proceedings for the Massacre of Velipoja in 2021, where 4 people were killed. 

Milena Deraj has undertaken to speak with a lawyer, specifically with the former Prosecutor Arjan Ndoj, to make it possible that the members of the Ferracaku tribe are not sentenced to life imprisonment. 

Ndoj has asked Milena Deraj for EUR 340,000 to try to apply the shortened trial, which would save Hasan Ferracak, Abedin Ferracaku, Shyqyri Ferracaku and one of their nephews from being locked up in a cell for life. 

She took the money from Abedin Ferracaku in 3 different installments and kept it at home for several days. Then she kept them in the car for several months. 

After some time, Arjan Ndoj told her that he did not want to deal with the matter in question anymore, without knowing that she had taken the money in advance. 

Further, the defendant claims that she called Abedin Ferracaku to return the money, but he told her that he needs the work done and not the money. 

Deraj also says that she was threatened by the Ferracaku family in a building in Shkodër, where they forced her to speak in a video, where she admitted that he owes them EUR 540,000, that is, 200,000 more than they had given her. 

The situation goes on with the return of 140 thousand euros to Abedin Ferracaku, while another EUR 200.000 were invested in a house in Tepelena, since according to her, Ferracaku did not agree to take back the amount of money, asking for a total of 540 thousand euros and not 340 thousand as it was real debt. 

On the other hand, Afërdita Ferracaku admitted before the officers of the Judicial Police that she knew the defendant through her friend Elira Shyti and that Milena Deraj told her that she works at the Bank of Albania while her husband at the Ministry of the Interior. 

Elira Shyti also filed a police report, who says that Deraj took her EUR 225,000 through fraud, which was supposed to be invested in treasury bonds, but the investment never happened, while Deraj cheated her by not returning her money. 

This citizen was also threatened by some people, who took her passport, telling her that she cannot leave Albania until Deraj returns the money to Ferracaku family.
