By order of the Special Prosecutor’s Office, a suspect identified by the initials V.E. has been detained for 48 hours on suspicion of committing the criminal offenses of “Document Forgery” and “Participation or Organization in a Criminal Group.”
The suspect was arrested on Saturday evening at the Bërnjak border crossing as part of expanded investigations into a January 2025 case, when authorities discovered a specialized document forgery laboratory.
According to the Special Prosecutor’s Office, there is substantiated suspicion that, over an unspecified period until January 24, 2025, V.E., in collaboration with others, operated as part of an organized criminal group that produced and distributed forged documents from around 50 different countries.
The prosecution has filed a request for pre-trial detention against the suspect with the Pristina Basic Court.
Investigations continue in coordination with the Special Prosecutor’s Office and the Directorate for Investigation of Economic Crimes and Corruption to fully clarify the case and identify other individuals involved.
