TIRANA, April 3 /ATA/ The Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime has reacted to the illegal interference in the e-mail addresses of SPAK prosecutors and emphasized that thanks to security measures, SPAK’s internal system has not been compromised.

It was also possible to seize the equipment used to carry out the interference as well as the downloaded files”, SPAK said.
SPAK said that it assures the public and all interested parties that all measures have been taken to protect the files, sensitive data and to preserve the integrity of the institution’s infrastructure.
Investigations regarding this matter continue in the context of suspicions about the existence of a structured criminal group. /a.f//r.e/p.s./
