Millioner Abrashi, how he was caught cheating the state of Kosovo during the import of Russian vodka (Dok)

Former Minister of Labour and Social Management and Pristina chairmanial candidate Arban Abashi is the main importer for Kosovo of Russia's best known alcoholic beverages “Priskov Vodka Imperial 37.5%<1>.

While minister, Abrashi's company “Laris Group”, was published in the media attempting to deceive the state of Kosovo, announcing the vodka at a lower price than it actually had, so running away from taxation on this product.

Abrask's company was occupied by Kosovo Customs after counterfeiting the import documentation of Vodka “Prismakov”. Abrask's company was said to have attempted to hide the real value of this product by declaring fake bills in customs.

The Customs Office in Pec, in 2012, had concluded that this company was importing this product at a price below the real value of the market.

After news reported a few months ago started spreading now, when Abrashi intends to become head of the capital, Pristina municipality spokesman Adonis Tahiri has reacted, as he says, erasing news in some of the media.

Tahiri has also published Dogan's decision on Abrask Company's request, following the complaint about the decision made against the company “Larry Group”.

Two days ago, news of the departure of former Prime Minister Arba Abashi's taxes has been spread to the import of Vodka Primakov with his company “Laris Group. P.K” Yesterday, surprisingly, some of the main portals had left the news. With sponsors, the news may even be hidden. But the truth is not. Connecting to the Kosovo Customs document, through which they have not accepted Abrash's complaint, and have concluded that the latter has announced Vodka at a much lower price to flee the tax payment in the Republic of Kosovo”, Tahiri wrote.

According to Tahiri, citizens should know how long Abrashi has forged the price of vodka and how much this has damaged the state budget.

What should we know as citizens of the Republic, is that as long as Abrashi has forged the price of vodka and other beverages in Dogan? How much damage has caused to the Republic of Kosovo? What were the sentences for him on Customs's side?

Previously, the media reported that Abrashi, in addition to trading drinks, deals with several other business activities. Even according to the wealth declaration, Pristina chairmanial candidate Abrashi appears to be a millionaire.

Abrashi has never clarified his company's scandal about leaving the tax during the importation of Russian beverages. /Periscopi/
