SPAK announcement:
Also, from the evidence administered, it results that the citizen, AL, in the role of creator, leader and organizer, has created a structured criminal group, with the aim of carrying out the illegal activity of forging documents, where members of this structured criminal group are citizens; VM, (alias VK); AB, VB and other unidentified citizens.
These citizens are suspected of having forged documents, the issuance of which is carried out only by the Cadastre institution in the Durrës District Council, the land allocation commissions in the villages, Lalëz, Shetaj, Bizë and Kërtushaj of the Durrës district as well as the former Local Office of Immovable Property Registration, Durrës. The mechanism used by members of this structured criminal group includes the complete forgery of Land Acquisition Acts (LAAs), the partial forgery of original LAAs, by increasing the number of parcels, the production of forged documents and their illegal entry into the archive of the former Durrës Land Registry Office, presenting them as decisions of the Property Title Verification Commission at the Durrës District Council, the removal of property card registry sheets in volume, where properties of the cadastral items "Forest" and "Fruitless" were registered and their replacement with new sheets falsified in form and content, where they reflected registered properties of the cadastral item "Field", the production of completely forged documents of the property revaluation practice, with the aim of paving the way to move to the next phase, which was the transfer of ownership through the sale deed or donation deed, etc.
The properties registered in violation of the law were registered in the names of the villagers of the villages of Lalëz, Draç, Bizë and Shetaj, who in most cases were unaware that they were the owners of these properties.
All these actions were carried out with the sole purpose of realizing illegal profits through the sale of these properties to individuals or companies interested in investments in the coastal area of Lalëz and Shetaj (Rëra e Bardhë and Kepi i Rodonit).
