Ferizaj Prosecution Seeks Pre-Trial Detention for Police Officer in Alleged Fraud Case
The Basic State Prosecution in Ferizaj has formally requested the Basic Court in Ferizaj, branch in Shtrepce, to consider pre-trial detention for E.L., a police officer, on suspicion of criminal activity involving “the organization of pyramid schemes and illegal trafficking,” as outlined in the Criminal Code of Kosovo. The request stems from a substantiated suspicion that, beginning in January 2026, within the Shtrepce municipality, unauthorized gambling operations were conducted. These operations utilized an online platform, “888verona.club,” to facilitate online games.
According to the prosecution, this resulted in funds being transferred to the account of a victim, M.R., and outstanding debts remain unresolved. The investigation centers around the alleged intent to illegally acquire personal wealth, either for the suspect or for another individual, through these unregulated gambling activities. Authorities believe the necessary permits for these games were not obtained.
The case involves a police officer, E.L., and is currently under review by the court. Further details regarding the investigation and potential charges are pending.
