The Agency for the Administration of Seized and Confiscated Assets (AAPSK) currently manages over Lek 35 billion in seized and confiscated assets; in 2026 alone, 1,175 asset seizures and 84 confiscations were recorded.

These figures were released by AAPSK Chief Administrator Risena Xhaja during a conference in Tirana organized by the European Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates (FBINAA), titled "Building International Partnerships – Combating Organized Crime for a Safer Environment." As part of the conference agenda, Xhaja presented the topic "From Confiscation to Public Good," focusing on the administration and repurposing of assets derived from criminal activity.

According to the data she presented, the AAPSK manages 2,682 seized assets valued at approximately Lek 28.5 billion, as well as 516 confiscated assets valued at approximately Lek 6.8 billion.

The AAPSK Chief Administrator emphasized that confiscation should not be viewed as the end of the process of targeting criminal assets. According to her, it is precisely after the judicial ruling that the state’s responsibility begins - to preserve the asset's economic value and put it to use for the benefit of citizens. “Confiscation is not the end of the process. It is the moment when the state must demonstrate that it knows how to preserve that value and put it at the service of the citizens,” stated Xhaja. She emphasized that targeting the assets, funds, businesses, and financial networks of organized crime constitutes one of the most effective ways to weaken the criminal structures themselves.

Revenue generated from the administration of these assets has also seen an increase. According to Xhaja, rental income alone reached approximately Lek 160 million in 2024 and about Lek 221 million in 2025, while around Lek 180 million had been realized by August 2026.

However, the AAPSK’s objective is not solely to generate revenue. A significant part of the Agency’s policy involves repurposing confiscated assets and funds for the benefit of institutions and communities - particularly those groups directly affected by the consequences of crime.
