The Basic Prosecutor’s Office in Gjakova has filed criminal charges against two inspectors from the Kosovo Tax Administration (ATK). The charges allege that the two officials solicited and accepted bribes from business owners in exchange for failing to perform their mandated official duties. According to the Prosecutor’s announcement, the charges were initiated by the Department for Serious Crimes and target individuals identified by the initials D.N.
and E.Q. The indictment states that both individuals, while acting in their official capacity as ATK inspectors, engaged in corrupt practices on two separate occasions during 2022 in Gjakova. The allegations detail that the two inspectors collaborated to solicit and accept illicit payments from local business owners.
Specifically, the charges assert that on each of the two occasions mentioned, the inspectors accepted a bribe of 300 euros. These payments were allegedly made with the explicit understanding that the officials would refrain from executing their required professional duties. The Basic Prosecutor’s Office maintains that these actions constitute a breach of public trust and professional conduct.
The filing of these charges marks a formal legal action against the inspectors regarding their alleged misuse of public office for personal financial gain.
