Tirana’s District Court has ordered to keep notary Rezarta Koci in prison, after she was arrested for allegedly embezzling well over €50 thousand euros.

Koci is being accused of receiving this money back in 2021. At the time, she was offering her notary services during the sale of an apartment.

During her court appearance, Koci said that she will only speak at a later time, because at the moment, she feels threatened, giving no further details however, on why that would be the case.

In May 2021, the Ministry of Justice decided to strip Koci off her notary’s license.

Meanwhile, prosecutors are verifying 3 additional instances of citizens filing charges against Koci on allegations of fraud.

A few months ago, her car became the subject of a TNT attack. The suspects who placed the explosives in her vehicle still haven’t been identified.

Koci is facing several counts of theft and malpractice charges, along with tax evasion and failure to declare her wealth.
