Prosecution initiates investigation into transactions from 3% Fund (Insajderi)
The news site reports that the Special Prosecution of Kosovo has initiated investigations against three persons on organized crime related to suspicious transactions from the former Fund of the Republic of Kosovo, also known as the 3% Fund. Kosovo’s state chief prosecutor, Aleksander Lumezi, confirmed the investigations. The suspicious transactions include over €500,000. Investigations were launched based on a report prepared by the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC) during investigations against Ilir Tolaj, Bujar Bukoshi and others back in 2012. The transactions were made between 2006-2011 and the funds were withdrawn from banks in Germany, Italy, Albania and Belgium. “I can confirm that a prosecutor with the Special Prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo, tasked with this case, has issued a decision for the start of investigations against three persons,” Lumezi told the news site.
