However, the case in question, which returns after a year, this time has led to the handcuffing of six senior customs officials, namely Bujar Shatri, director of Operations and Revenues at Customs, Lulzim Sylës, head of the shift at the Han customs point of Elez, Arsim Zuka, customs officer for intelligence at the Han of Elez, Bekim Gashi, head of shift at the customs point of Han of Elez, Arlind Sharan, customs officer at the customs point of Han of Elez and Korab Shasivari, head of the shift at the point customs at Pristina Airport.
However, the viagra case is not the only charge against those arrested
Gazeta Express, citing sources within the police, writes that the investigations related to the case initially started with suspicions of the illegal introduction of a quantity of Viagra tablets into Kosovo.
But during the investigations of this case by the Customs investigators, even more other misuses have emerged, such as forgeries by these persons and evidence that is thought to implicate the arrested in corrupt affairs.
"During the investigations, the names of big people came out. For this reason, the Customs investigators have submitted the case to the police", says a Customs official to Express.
According to him, this was done so that the investigations could be carried out more easily and without any kind of influence or pressure, since forgeries, illegal customs clearance and other violations have emerged.
The time period for which it is believed that these persons have committed the criminal acts, belongs to the year 2007, when they held these positions in the Customs.
Three of those arrested at the time of handcuffing were no longer in their duties, since about six months ago, they were suspended by the Customs themselves.
Reliable sources of Express show that the arrested Lulzim Syla, Arsim Zuka and Bekim Gashi, before being suspended, were initially subjected to disciplinary procedures within the Customs itself.
"And later, when it was seen that they did not understand, they were completely dismissed from work, to be prosecuted later".
Otherwise, the truck loaded with medications, which among other things contained about 80 viagra that were smuggled into Kosovo, were seized at the border point in Han i Elezit, in September of last year.
