dirty money finds its way, a concern for Fiscal Peace and the failure of prevention in Albania"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>At the end of <strong>2025<\/strong>, the media reported a story that <strong>shocked public opinion in Albania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Spanish citizen, <strong>\u00c1lvaro Romillo Castillo<\/strong>, known as <strong>\u201cCryptoSpain,\u201d<\/strong> was arrested in Spain for a <strong>cryptocurrency pyramid scheme<\/strong> that defrauded <strong>thousands of people<\/strong> and caused damages of <strong>\u20ac250\u2013300 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>illegal funds<\/strong> managed to penetrate <strong>Albania<\/strong>, where authorities seized assets worth about <strong>\u20ac30 million<\/strong> (approximately <strong>2.9 billion lek<\/strong>), including <strong>land, luxury cars, bank accounts, and three companies in tourism and real estate<\/strong>, mainly in <strong>Dh\u00ebrmi<\/strong>, a village of about <strong>600 houses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>main concern<\/strong> is not only the <strong>scale of the scheme in such a small and highly visible area<\/strong>, monitored by <strong>local tax offices, the cadastre, the municipality, police, and local banks<\/strong>, but the fact that <strong>none of these institutions detected or reported in time<\/strong> such an <strong>extraordinary flow of assets and transactions<\/strong>.<br>In a small territory like <strong>Dh\u00ebrmi<\/strong>, where <strong>land purchases, construction activity, and the emergence of luxury assets<\/strong> are highly visible to the community, this kind of activity <strong>should have generated early warning signals<\/strong> from <strong>tax inspectors, community policing, property registration offices, and the local branches of central institutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that the discovery <strong>did not come from Albanian institutions<\/strong>, but from an <strong>investigation conducted in Spain<\/strong> under <strong>Operation PONEI<\/strong>, with the support of <strong>Europol and the Spanish Civil Guard<\/strong>, <strong>deepens this institutional gap even further<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albania became involved <strong>only after Spanish authorities traced the money flows<\/strong>, a clear indication that <strong>our preventive system, from the field to the center, failed to function in real time<\/strong> and <strong>only reacted after evidence arrived from abroad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On paper, <strong>laws and national strategies assign clear roles to institutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Tax Administration<\/strong> must monitor the field and detect <strong>real-time financial flows<\/strong> related to <strong>tax evasion<\/strong>, which often <strong>masks dirty money<\/strong>.<br>The <strong>Financial Intelligence Agency (AIF)<\/strong> (formerly the <strong>General Directorate for the Prevention of Money Laundering \u2013 DPPPP<\/strong>) must analyze <strong>suspicious transaction reports<\/strong> and alert <strong>law enforcement<\/strong>.<br>The <strong>Bank of Albania<\/strong> must activate mechanisms to <strong>supervise banking flows<\/strong>.<br>The <strong>Police<\/strong> must <strong>monitor the territory<\/strong> and report <strong>suspicious cases<\/strong>.<br><strong>SPAK<\/strong> must <strong>investigate major cases and act swiftly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But these mechanisms <strong>cannot function<\/strong> if they are not fed by <strong>field intelligence<\/strong>, from <strong>community policing<\/strong>, <strong>local administration<\/strong>, and <strong>the signals generated where economic activity actually takes place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, <strong>none of them moved beyond ex-post reaction<\/strong>.<br>The <strong>shell companies \u201cWortned\u201d and \u201cWortonova\u201d<\/strong> were created in <strong>June 2024<\/strong>, properties were <strong>purchased below market value<\/strong>, and <strong>significant wealth appeared in a small tourist area<\/strong>, yet <strong>no red flags were raised<\/strong> until <strong>Spain revealed the photos and the schemes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows that, beyond weaknesses at the <strong>central level<\/strong>, even the <strong>first line of the state \u2014 community policing and local oversight \u2014 is not functioning as a preventive filter<\/strong>, allowing <strong>money laundering to flourish silently<\/strong> until it erupts as an <strong>international scandal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proactive inaction becomes even more worrying with the Fiscal Peace<\/strong>, which entered into force in <strong>2026<\/strong>. This mechanism allows the <strong>wiping out of old debts<\/strong> and the <strong>declaration of assets without deep verification of their origin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a country where <strong>corruption and money laundering remain major challenges<\/strong>, such a policy can serve as <strong>\u201cofficial laundering\u201d<\/strong> for <strong>suspicious funds<\/strong>. Properties in Dh\u00ebrmi owned by someone like <strong>Romillo<\/strong> could end up declared as <strong>\u201cundeclared assets\u201d<\/strong> without anyone asking about their <strong>true origin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>construction sector<\/strong> reveals another serious problem: <strong>companies with minimal starting capital and loss-making balance sheets<\/strong> receive permits for <strong>large projects<\/strong>.<br>Between <strong>2015 and 2023<\/strong>, the number of construction companies increased by <strong>40%<\/strong>, yet most have <strong>only 1\u20134 employees<\/strong> and <strong>no real financial capacity<\/strong>.<br>More than <strong>two-thirds of high-rise buildings in Tirana<\/strong> are built by <strong>companies without verified financing<\/strong>, creating <strong>opportunities for money laundering<\/strong> and <strong>risks for citizens through unfinished projects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>permit process<\/strong> remains vulnerable to <strong>bribery<\/strong>, with <strong>over one-third of businesses admitting they pay to speed up approvals<\/strong>.<br>This creates a <strong>dangerous cycle<\/strong> where <strong>informal money enters easily<\/strong>, <strong>fair competition is distorted<\/strong>, <strong>trust in institutions collapses<\/strong>, and <strong>citizens pay the highest price<\/strong>\u2014with <strong>unfinished apartments<\/strong> or an <strong>economy where clean money has less and less space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What stands out in this case is the <strong>total imbalance between institutional potential and actual results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are talking about <strong>\u20ac30 million<\/strong>\u2014a <strong>very large amount for Albania\u2019s small market<\/strong>\u2014that <strong>was not identified in time by multiple key institutions<\/strong>: the <strong>Municipality, Police, AIF, Tax Administration, Bank of Albania, and SPAK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This failure shows that <strong>investments in technology and human capacity<\/strong>, even when significant, <strong>do not automatically translate into real effectiveness<\/strong>.<br>In other words, <strong>having software and staff is not enough<\/strong>\u2014if <strong>procedures, coordination, and political will are weak<\/strong>, such schemes are <strong>allowed to operate until arrests occur abroad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First<\/strong>, <strong>technology and capacity are only tools, not guarantees<\/strong>. Without <strong>functional protocols, direct inter-institutional coordination, and above all political will<\/strong>, prevention remains <strong>theory, not practice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second<\/strong>, <strong>failure to act in time creates a precedent<\/strong> where <strong>money laundering, tax evasion, and shell companies become a \u201ctolerated norm.\u201d<\/strong> Albania is not alone in this; <strong>other Balkan countries, such as Greece<\/strong>, show the same pattern\u2014<strong>institutions react only after international scandal, not proactively<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is <strong>not only the money that was seized<\/strong>, but the <strong>system that allowed it to happen<\/strong>\u2014an <strong>institutional ecosystem<\/strong> that, despite investments, <strong>fails to prevent crises before they become international scandals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Romillo case<\/strong> clearly shows that <strong>Albania is far from having a system that prevents damage before it occurs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This case increases concern that the <strong>Fiscal Peace<\/strong>, by allowing <strong>asset declarations without tracing the origin of funds<\/strong>, may <strong>further weaken the ability of institutions to follow dirty money<\/strong>, opening the door to <strong>many similar cases in the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Real change begins when institutions move from \u201creacting after the fact\u201d to \u201cpreventing before the fact\u201d<\/strong>\u2014a demand that the <strong>IMF, the European Union, and international reports have been repeating for years.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of 2025, the media reported a story that shocked public opinion in Albania.
