Three secret service specialists and a sophisticated laboratory arrive USA, immediate measures to detect counterfeit dollars Page 7 The state’s belly By FATOS TUSONA For some time now, in political circles as well as in journalistic ones, it has been openly said that there is a connection between the shipments of counterfeit money addressed to Nano and moves involving the PD and destabilization. From official and informed circles of the PM and the moves between the two capitals of the two sides (as [?]), for some reason still unexplained, a well-known secret service expert, who is in an advisory position to both sides, appeared in Tirana.[?] Thus, the interventions the government is making in the matter of the fake dollar itself (as well as this more broadly in the police branches and commercial firms) have increased suspicion. At the time the American ambassador was speaking at the embassy in Tirana, FBI people were also set in motion; in cooperation with the criminal police laboratories, they are closely tracking the circulation of 50-100 dollar bills suspected to be counterfeit. It is clear that the activity of the foreigners is being followed carefully and has entered its operational phase. Two foreign specialists have arrived in Tirana to see the situation in the country up close and to question the police structures dealing with this matter. One of them is believed to be an expert in counterfeit money detection, while the other is tasked with making the connection with the American secret services and the relevant Albanian branches. Finally, on Thursday evening movements of several cars with foreign license plates were noticed in the premises of the Prime Minister’s Office. Unofficial sources claim that unknown persons accompanied by high-security staff entered the building. There is still no confirmation, but there is talk of a high-level meeting in which actions against the forgers and distribution networks were discussed. Other sources say that a new technical laboratory is also being prepared, equipped with modern devices, to detect counterfeit banknotes in time. This laboratory will help not only the police, but also customs, banks and economic investigation structures. If this turns out to be true, then we are dealing with an unusual intervention by the American partners in an issue that directly affects the country’s financial security.
