Gjilan, February 27, 2025 – The Basic Prosecution in Gjilan, Serious Crimes Department, has detained the suspect S.S. and has requested the imposition of detention on remand, as he is suspected of committing the criminal offense of “Abuse of Official Position or Authority” under Article 414 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo.
According to the prosecution’s motion, there is well-founded suspicion that on November 12, 2020, in the municipality of Partesh, the suspect S.S. misused his official duty by using the official seal of the Republic of Kosovo to confirm a certificate of life status and residence for the now-deceased D.S., despite her being deceased at the time. This fraudulent confirmation enabled another individual to unlawfully obtain a Swiss state pension in the amount of 22,192 Swiss Francs.
The suspect is currently under a 48-hour detention order as per the decision of the State Prosecutor.
