On 2 June Guardia di Financia, the Italian elite crime fighting force helping UNMIK in Kosovo searched Gavin Jeffrey's home, a former head and now consultant to PTK at 30,000 euro a month.

Investigators interrogated him for 5 hours on Tuesday, and ordered Jeffery not to leave Kosovo.

Today PTK board members stated that he is in his homeland while Guardia di Financia is supposedly interrogating him. You can't imagine how depressing it is when internationals are involved in these kinds of crimes. Instead of leading by example, UNMIK personnel has been investigated in all revenue-making public corporations of Kosovo. Jeffrey was investigated with a bunch of, now gone, local executives of PTK back in 2004, but he soon left and established his company as an outside consultant to PTK.

The daily Express reported that calling from Serbia's Mobtel mobile phone operator into PTK's mobile netwtork Vala 900 costs cheaper than from within the network. International calls are also routed through Serbia costing PTK millions. Vala 900 has an agreement with Monaco Telecom to use their international code for international calls, which could be renewed at much better terms since the previous contract with Monaco has expired. Regulators are apparently holding them back from the renewal causing 2 million euro damages a month.
