Press Release

Prosecution Office of Tirana, with the permission of the court, sequester 60 % of the shares of the companies “Agonset”, “Energji”, “Cable System” “400KV”, “Fuqi”, as well as blocks their bank accounts in different banks, all administered by Francesco Beccheti, Liliana Condomitti, Mauro de Renzis and Erjona Troplini, who are suspected of being involved in a huge money laundering scheme amounting to millions of euros.

Prosecution Office of Tirana, Task Force Unit after the investigation launched in 2014 based on reference material from the Police Directorate of Tirana, so far has provided sufficient evidence to establish reasonable suspicion that the abovementioned persons have consumed elements of the criminal offense of "Falsification of documents committed in collaboration or more than once" and "Laundering of proceeds of criminal offence" provided by Articles 186/2 and 287 of the Criminal Code.

Based on previous investigation of the Prosecution Office of Tirana managed to create a clear situation on how this scheme has worked.
Prosecution Office of Tirana considers as organizer of the scheme the Italian citizen Francesco Beccheti, who, in coolaboration with his mother Liliana Condomitti, has been involved in a financial relationship concession-contractor for the construction of hydropower of Kalivaçit in Albania. According to the investigation, the concessionaire "KEG", managed with majority of shares by a company of Francesco Becchetit, has contracted for the work the company "Energji", managed absolutely by his mother, Liliana Condomitti. Through financial maneuvers, spanning over 2007-2013, and already discovered by the investigation of the Prosecution Office, these two citizens have illegally benefited millions of euros, which were invested in companies "Cable System", "400KV" and "Fuqi " administered by them, in cooperation with the citizens Mauro de Renzis and Erjona Troplini. While a part of the money obtained from financial maneuvers, were deposited in several banks.

Also, it appears that the company “Energji”, for the incomes that has benefited, should pay taxes. According to the audit by the Large Taxpayer Unit, turns out that "Energji" must pay to the State a sum of about 770 million ALL tax liabilities, which are not paid. For this reason, the Department of Taxation has ordered to block the bank accounts of "Energji" and the payment of obligations to the state from their accounts. To avoid automatic withdrawal of money in favor of the Department of Taxation, in the form of unpaid liabilities, the concessionaire "KGE" has made payments for "Energji" by the company "Cable System", which was managed in absolute majority by Liliana Condomitti (Becchetit’s mother).

These transfers, amounting to millions of euros, were approved illegally by the national Pranvera Gjika, leader of a second-tier bank in Albania. Meanwhile, it is continuing with the other procedural actions within this criminal proceeding.
