Summary
Albania's anti-corruption prosecutors (SPAK) have frozen bank accounts of Albania Land Development, the company behind a luxury resort project backed by Jared Kushner. The project, built on protected wetlands, has sparked nationwide protests entering their seventh consecutive day, dubbed the "Flamingo Revolution." The asset freeze is part of a property-fraud investigation into land titles. The controversy tests Albania's willingness to protect foreign investor interests versus EU accountability standards, with the EU reportedly issuing warnings over the megaproject linked to the Trump family.
