The assets of Ervis Martinaj are seized

The Special Prosecutor's Office in Albania (SPAK) has seized 34 movable and immovable assets of the one who is known as the boss of gambling, Ervis Martinaj.

According to the media in Albania, the assets of his family members, which are worth up to 15 million euros, have also been seized.

Among the assets, vehicles, bank accounts, land and shares in many important companies were seized.

The move by the authorities came more than six months after Martinaj's disappearance.

Martinaj was reported missing on August 9 of last year by his family members. There have been insinuations that he disappeared to lose track of him or was abducted as a result of his murder.

The authorities in Albania have not yet come to a conclusion whether one of the main exponents of crime in recent years is alive or dead.
