Following a KALLXO.com investigation the Prishtina Basic Prosecution announced on Wednesday evening that five individuals—only known as M.B., V.B., B.SH., M.B., and Z.Sh.—were arrested  on suspicion of fraud and institutional neglect which enabled a 12 million euro property heist in Prishtina.

The prosecution reported that some [of the individuals] were arrested following police interviews, under suspicion of involvement in unlawful activities.”

On Wednesday, the Prishtina Basic Prosecution, in coordination with the Kosovo Police Directorate for Investigation of Economic Crimes and Corruption, carried out raids on multiple locations across Kosovo: at two key state institutions, the Kosovo Cadastral Agency, and the Kosovo Archives Agency, as well as several other sites in Prishtina, Ferizaj, and Shtime.

The case relates to the alleged illegal transfer of publicly owned land through the use of a forged court verdict. The land in question, located in Prishtina’s Veternik neighbourhood, was owned by the former public broadcaster, Radio Television of Prishtina, RTP. The case, initially exposed by KALLXO.com in 2023,  involved falsified documents, illegal land transfers, and fabricated court decisions.

In June 2025, the Prishtina Basic Court ordered one-month pre-trial detention for two lawyers suspected of participating in a multi-million-euro land fraud scheme. 

According to the October 2023 investigation by KALLXO.com, a forged court ruling, dated 1960 which only surfaced in 2021, transferred state land originally owned by RTP to a private citizen, Slavica Mikic, without any of the required verified legal documentation. The land was worth an estimated 12 million euros and was later parceled out and sold to third parties.

The forged decision claimed the 3.92 hectares of land—formerly part of the Cagllavica cadastral zone, now Veternik—had been exchanged for two plots on a hill in the village of Cvilen, on the outskirts of Prizren.

The transaction was stuck in a legal vacuum. Authorities were unable to trace the origin of the verdict, locate any court files, or confirm the exchange in the Prizren Cadastre archives. The State Archive, undergoing renovations at the time, contained only a vague reference to the case and did not include the actual verdict.

Prosecutors suspect that some of the land buyers were unaware the property had been acquired through fraud. The group is believed to have made at least 2 million euros in illicit profit through these transactions.
