Anela Osmani indicted for fraud in Tirana

Anela Osmani has been indicted by the Tirana Prosecutor's Office for fraud following a complaint by Kejvina Kthjella regarding 8,000 euros. The investigation, led by prosecutor Bledar Valikaj, follows allegations that Osmani accepted the funds for safekeeping but failed to return them.

According to the investigation, Kthjella entrusted the money, which she had saved from her work earnings, to Osmani before traveling to Lezhë. Kthjella reportedly chose to leave the cash with Osmani to avoid leaving it in her Tirana residence while a cleaner was scheduled to work there.

During the dispute, Osmani allegedly claimed the money was in a safe but that she had forgotten the code. When the safe was eventually opened, the funds were reportedly missing. Osmani later claimed the money had been deposited into her bank account but was inaccessible due to frozen accounts resulting from enforcement procedures. Osmani, who serves as a chief inspector at a health institution, faces a potential prison sentence of up to five years if convicted.
