Burden too much to bear for Albania central bank thief

In the end, it wasn't the security cameras or the audit inspections in the vault of Albania's central bank that brought down Ardian Bitraj.

It was the high blood pressure and lack of sleep, the burden of a multimillion-dollar secret.

Sitting down with his boss in July, Bitraj confessed his deception: Over a four-year period, he had stolen the equivalent of $6.5 million from the vault, covering his tracks by stuffing the empty cashboxes with books and balls of string.
