According to IndexOnline's sources, Special Prosecution, Kosovo Tax Investigation Unit (ATK), Kosovo Police and Kosovo Customs Investigation Unit broadcast Periscopi.
It becomes known that a money laundering system in Kosovo has been built through this scheme.
This group had used a known scheme of smuggling and avoiding technical oil taxes, which was also used in smuggling oil in the northern Kosovo area.
According to sources, oil was imported from companies from Kosovo and passed the transit in the Republic of Albania.
Albania, according to sources, has far higher taxes on oil, some between 20 and 40 cents more expensive than in Kosovo.
The group, had evacuated oil in Albania, where it was sold on the black market, while the menus were filled with water and were introduced to Kosovo.
The Maunas, according to these sources, had paid customs and excises, which is the lowest in Kosovo, creating profits of 10 or more cents per each litre of oil that had been evacuated to Albania and in a flammable form was imported to Kosovo.
