TIRANA, April 9 – The head of the money laundering investigation department, Gent Gazheli, has told a parliamentary commission that seven politicians are being investigated from prosecutors on alleged money laundering.
No names were given in his report for 2013 issued Tuesday.
Gazheli said that the banks had reported some 420 cases of suspected transactions. He added that in general there have been 558 cases of doubtful money laundry cases.
Last year there have been frozen and sequestered money and property worth 30 million leks for certain persons suspected of being involved in such activities.
Tax evasion, money coming from drug trafficking remain the main two areas of concern for the authorities.
