A few months ago, the Tax Investigation Directorate, in cooperation with the Field Task Force, conducted a control operation in three livestock companies in Albania, engaged in the purchase and sale of livestock and the trade of fresh meat, finding around 10 million euros in tax evasion. The businesses Kazazi in Kavaja, Hallaçi in Kukës and Tafaj in Fier witnessed an imbalance between the large amount of meat purchased and sales, as the products were traded without invoices.
From the administration of the documentation it has resulted that Kazazi declared more purchases and less sales, selling meat without invoices, committing millions of euros of tax evasion, with the aim of avoiding taxes. According to the finding, Kazazi alone had committed 6 million euros of tax evasion, selling meat without invoices. At the head of the criminal scheme stands Vasip Kazazi, administrator and co-owner of the meat company Kazazi Meat shpk. According to sources, Kazazi had been implementing a consolidated tax fraud scheme for years, while the embezzled money is suspected of having laundered in real estate and to corrupt public officials, who have allowed tax evasion.
