Former “Portokalli” actor Rezart Veleshnja has been formally taken as a defendant by the Durrës Prosecution Office on charges of fraud.
According to the investigation, Veleshnja is suspected of receiving a vehicle in good faith from a friend identified by the initials Y.T., and later allegedly selling it for around 2 million old Albanian lekë.

Authorities have not yet issued a final verdict, and the proceedings remain ongoing.
Police and Prosecution Previously Ordered Arrest in December 2024
Reports indicate that police and the Durrës Prosecution Office had ordered the arrest of Veleshnja in December 2024.
