The Albanian-language information portal "sot.com.al" has published an article titled "Former bank official sentenced to 16 years in prison, here's what he is accused of", attaching a photograph.
But the content of the article on the relevant portal indicates that it concerns a person from China and that the incident occurred there.
Hibrid.info has verified the facts and has confirmed that this title is generalizing, as it does not clarify in which country the event occurred.

An Albanian-language news portal has published an article regarding the prison sentence of a former bank official, attaching a photograph from a court hearing in Kosovo.
The title does not clarify that the event took place in China, and leaves room to assume that it is about a person in Kosovo.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
