Prishtinë, November 2, 2025
Kosovo Police, specifically the Document Forgery Investigation Unit from the Directorate for the Investigation of Economic Crimes and Corruption, under the authorization of the State Prosecutor from the Basic Prosecution Office in Pristina, after several months of intensive investigations has discovered and documented suspected criminal activities related to the forgery of state property documents.
During the investigations, it was found that the suspect, in complicity with other persons, forged documents that were used in procedures for the transfer and legalization of properties under the management of the Privatization Agency of Kosovo (PAK), with the aim of changing the ownership and alienating state properties into private ownership. The properties were then sold by deceiving the buyers and benefiting from large financial amounts worth millions.
In accordance with the Order of the Basic Court in Pristina, dated 01.11.2025, in two regions of the country, the police conducted searches in a house, three apartments and two garages that were suspected of being under the supervision of the suspect.
During the operation, the following were seized:
• documents related to the case (sales contracts, land registers, property files in Serbian, incomplete documents of the former FRY);
• equipment used for forgery (five old typewriters and a “Paper Trimmer” device);
• a Zaragio-type revolver with 103 cartridges;
• an iPhone 17 Pro, a Rolex watch and a Rolex wrist chain.
Based on the evidence obtained, there is reasonable suspicion against the suspect for committing the following criminal offenses:
• Documents Forgery
• Legalization of False Content
• Fraud and
• Unauthorized ownership, control or possession of weapons
The suspect was interviewed in the presence of a lawyer and, by decision of the State Prosecutor, was sent to police custody for 48 hours, while investigations continue in order to identify other possible accomplices.
Kosovo Police, in cooperation with the justice authorities, remains committed to fighting economic crimes, corruption and any form of misuse of public property, guaranteeing legality, transparency and accountability to the citizens and institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.
