Albania Freezes Assets in Kushner Resort Probe

Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors froze the bank accounts of Albania Land Development amid an investigation into allegedly fraudulent property titles tied to a controversial $4 billion resort project backed by Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners and Qatari owners. The project has sparked mass protests over environmental and property-rights concerns in the Pishë-Poro-Nartë protected coastal area, violent clashes involving private security, an arrest, and growing diplomatic tensions with Greece; the European Commission warned that the dispute could affect Albania's EU accession prospects.
