Kushner Albania Deal Developer Probed for Money Laundering, Drug Trafficking
The individual who sold land for a proposed luxury development backed by Jared Kushner’s investment group is under investigation for alleged drug trafficking and money laundering by Albanian prosecutors, with court documents indicating sufficient evidence of criminal activity and financial document falsification. This investigation arises amidst mass protests in Albania against the development plans for a protected natural coastal area, which activists have dubbed the “flamingo revolution.” While the SPAK anti-corruption body is investigating the land acquisition, they maintain the probe does not involve any companies associated with Mr. Kushner.
