To this end, this unit also attempted to infiltrate into the Albanian media.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>&#8220;Quds Force agents have tried to manipulate certain Albanian media outlets to achieve this goal. They first copied the Twitter URL of a well-known Albanian-American businessman and activist; then began to communicate with various journalists, sending them documents ostensibly prepared by the Police Department\u2019s Criminal Division. The document was forged by the Iranians [Iranian regime agents] claiming that the former general director of police had informed the U.S. ambassador about the involvement of the MEK members in a crime. To make it look plausible, the Quds agents sent the [fake] document to some journalists through a fake email with the name of a police officer.\u00a0 Albanian intelligence services monitored the espionage operation closely to see which media would report on it. Only a British journalist took note of this Iranian operation aimed at disparaging the MEK members.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">Top Channel-Aug 2, 2022<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Earlier, on February 17, 2022, a British journalist named Alice Taylor published on a\u00a0website called Exit a fake document signed by the prosecutor of Tirana, Elina Kombi, claiming that an MEK member along with two Albanians attempted to\u00a0steal money from a pharmacy. The Committee of Jurists for MEK in Albania (CJPA) said in a statement on February 24, 2022:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">\u201c<em>In contact by representatives of the CJPA and the People\u2019s Mojahedin of Iran (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/iranprobe.com\/al\/historia-e-pmoi\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/iranprobe.com\/al\/historia-e-pmoi\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1659605608272000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3pFMfANe6Uk3mGW9sDbbuG\"><em>PMOI<\/em><\/a><em>) with Prosecutor Elina Kombi, she stressed that the document published by Alice Taylor in Exit was a forgery. The prosecutor pointed out:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The names of the Mojahedin have been intentionally entered and forged in another document that has nothing to do with any of the Mojahedin.<\/li>\n<li>The original document was related to the theft from a pharmacy by 3 Albanian teenagers, but in the exit document, a name such as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranprobe.com\/al\/historia-e-pmoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mojahedin<\/a> living in Ashraf has been forged instead of the first accused.<\/li>\n<li>The counterfeiters have not even mentioned the date of birth of this new person, the inclusion of which is required in such official documents.<\/li>\n<li>In the forged document, the letterhead belongs to the Tirana Prosecutor\u2019s Office, but the signature and stamp under the forged document are fake, especially since the forged stamp belongs to the Pogradec City Prosecutor\u2019s Office (in eastern Albania), which has nothing to do with Tirana.
