An article is published claiming that the person arrested (37-year-old Akcan Haskuka) in the anti-usury action in Prizren is a relative of former mayor Mytaher Haskuka.
The article with this claim was published on July 10 by the online medium "IndeksOnline.net".
The truth?
Former mayor Haskuka said he has no family ties to the person arrested in this case.
Even in the content of the article we encounter the claim addressed, when it is said about the arrested Akcan Haskuka that, "IndeksOnline learns that he is a relative of the former mayor of Prizren, Mytaher Haskuka.".
But, former mayor Haskuka wrote yesterday (July 11) on his Facebook account, where he said that the person arrested in this case is not his family member (see here).
Mytaher Haskuka's post:
"They continue to bother my real family members with fake news. I don't know how many times I have to emphasize that every person with the surname Haskuka does not mean they are my family member. But their job is not journalism, but paid defamation. These are mercenaries of disinformation."
Akcan Haskuka was arrested in flagrante delicto in Prizren on suspicion of usury and organizing pyramid schemes and illegal gambling. The police operation took place on July 10, 2025, after several weeks of investigation and by order of the Basic Prosecution Office in Prizren. According to the Police, covert technical measures were applied to the suspect and a search was conducted in his apartment. By decision of the prosecutor, he was taken into police custody, while the investigation is ongoing (see here).
Analyze:
The article's claim that the arrested Akcan Haskuka is a relative of former mayor Mytaher Haskuka is untrue.
Former Mayor Haskuka has publicly denied any family ties to him.
