Summary
Albanian prosecutors are investigating Jared Kushner’s luxury resort plan on a protected island and wetland teeming with flamingos and sea turtles, following controversial changes to land status and ownership that cleared the way for development. Kushner’s firm announced the project last August, and the Prime Minister says talks are ongoing, though denying encroachment on wildlife reserves as environmental studies continue. Citizens and environmentalists have erupted in protest, especially after fences blocked beach access and security guards allegedly assaulted demonstrators — leading to arrests, revoked licenses, and the removal of a police chief. The project, touted as part of Albania’s EU accession push by 2030, echoes Kushner’s past troubles, including scrapping a Serbian development amid corruption probes.
