Posing as a lawyer and promising quick resolution of legal issues, while obtaining money through fraud, the Fier Prosecution sends citizen KK for trial
The Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Fier completed the investigations and sent for trial the citizen KK for the criminal offense of 'Fraud' committed more than once and 'Hiding income' provided for by article 143, paragraph 2 and 180, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
At the conclusion of the investigations into criminal proceedings no. 768 of 2025, registered on the basis of the complaint of several citizens and the broadcast in the investigative media where concerns were raised that the defendant KK, by presenting herself as a lawyer, had managed to obtain monetary values through fraud, it was evidenced that the defendant, who for a long period of time presented herself as a lawyer, had benefited from monetary amounts from several citizens, promising them the resolution of various legal, administrative and judicial issues, including property legalizations, pension procedures, property issues, representation in civil court proceedings, etc.
The verifications conducted show that these services were not provided, although the monetary values were received from the defendant. The payments were made in various forms, including cash deliveries, financial transfers and payments declared as down payments or procedural expenses.
In some episodes, the victims were assured by the defendant that the procedures were ongoing and that the cases would be concluded within the specified deadlines, while later the communication with her was interrupted and no concrete result was given. In other cases, it turns out that false information was given on the existence of judicial processes or administrative applications, which, after verification with the relevant institutions, did not result to have been made by her. 8 citizens, mainly citizens of Lushnja and Fier, were identified as having been deceived by the defendant in this proceeding.
The investigation also revealed that the defendant performed acts that appeared to be legal representation at a time when she did not have active status to practice the profession of lawyer, and also benefited from income from this activity without declaring it to the tax authorities. From the administered data, it results that for several years she has exercised actual economic activity, while appearing with passive status in the tax registers, by not declaring the income received and by avoiding the relevant tax obligations.
In addition, the Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Fier expresses its full commitment to investigating and holding legally accountable persons who commit criminal offenses that affect the property and economic rights of the injured parties.
