Albania’s Billion-Euro Resort Scandal | US News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Albania’s anti-corruption unit is probing billionaire Artur Shehu, accused of laundering drug money to fund a luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner—using forged land deeds to hide illicit profits from South American cocaine trafficking. Shehu denies all charges, calling the case a fabrication, while the U.S. Justice Department remains silent on whether Albania has requested help locating him in Miami. The resort, slated for a protected coastal zone, has ignited the “Flamingo Revolution” as locals battle for decades to halt the project, citing environmental damage and disputed land titles. Amid Albania’s EU-driven development boom, the government backs the resort, dismissing protests as politically driven, while SPAK claims Shehu’s empire was built on frozen cash and fake documents.
