A series of telephone interceptions, combined with other evidence, such as the analysis of film footage and the rented vehicle, have enabled the Criminal Police of Tirana to identify and arrest yesterday evening the author of two bank robberies in the capital, Robert Duka.<\/p>\n
Robert alias Albert Duka is suspected of having spent most of the amount of nearly 120,000 euros, stolen from the two branches of the banks \u201cOTP Bank\u201d and \u201cRaiffeisen Bank\u201d, in several casinos in Tirana.<\/p>\n
It is known that the Duke gave an amount of 6 thousand euros to his two friends in Vlora, giving each of them 3 thousand euros.<\/p>\n
This amount has already been seized by the police, after checks carried out by Tirana's officers in the city of Vlora.<\/p>\n
The two people were interrogated and stated that Robert Duka had given them the money to pay off a debt he owed to them. Meanwhile, during the control in the Duke's apartment, the Criminal Police managed to seize only 2,200 euros.<\/p>\n
During the communication with the police officers, Albert Duka told them that he had spent the money and euros stolen in the two banks, on June 2, 2026 and November 2, 2026, playing in several casinos in Tirana.<\/p>\n
In order to verify these claims, the police and the prosecution are known to have requested information from four well-known casinos in the capital today, to confirm whether Albert Duka was their registered client. If so, the institutions have been asked to make available all relevant documentation, as well as film footage.<\/p>\n
However, Robert Duka did not claim that he had spent the stolen money in the casino in a statement kept on the record. He expressed these claims only during the communication with the police officers and the prosecutor of the case.<\/p>\n
It is learned that Robert Duka did not give a statement on the record, since such a thing was not allowed by his defense lawyer.<\/p>\n
As part of the investigation, the wife of Robert Duke, who works at a second-level bank in Tirana, was also questioned. She has stated that the amount of 120 thousand euros was obtained from the sale of an apartment in the area of \u200b\u200bthe \u201cAir Albania\u201d stadium.<\/p>\n
The woman claimed to the police that she had no knowledge of her husband's involvement in bank robberies. After giving her statements, she was released, while her husband was arrested for the criminal offense of \u201cArmed Bank Robbery\u201d, which provides for a sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n
The next day, Albert Duka is expected to appear before the Tirana Court, where he will be informed of the security measure.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, investigations continue to find out if Duka had accomplices in the two robberies. The police and the prosecutor's office of Tirana are conducting investigative actions to identify the other persons involved, as it is suspected that a second person drove the perpetrator away with a vehicle after the robbery of \u201cOTP Bank\u201d on June 2, 2026.<\/p>\n
Even the method of carrying out the robbery in the subsidiary of \u201cRaiffeisen Bank\u201d is similar to that of \u201cOTP Bank\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to the investigators, both robberies were committed on the 2nd of the respective months. On June 2, 2026, Albert Duka, masked, quickly entered the premises of \u201cOTP Bank\u201d and, after taking a sum of money at gunpoint, left the area on an electric scooter.<\/p>\n
The same silhouette was found on November 2, 2026, in the premises of \u201cRaiffeisen Bank\u201d. In this case too, Albert Duka, disguised and under the threat of a weapon that looked like a pistol, entered the interior of the bank and managed to take a sum of money from the cash register.<\/p>\n
The author is suspected to have used the same removal scheme as in the first case. He left quietly with the electric monopathy, which, after traveling a certain distance, he put into a rented vehicle. He then left by car, thus avoiding police checks.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Duke stayed in Greece, where he allegedly committed 26 armed robberies of banks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
