Albania’s anticorruption prosecution service is investigating whether Artur Shehu transferred land to Albania Land Development, a Kushner-linked company, with forged deeds and falsified titles, according to reporting by Al Jazeera and Reuters.<\/p>\n

“Prosecutors allege Shehu and his associates funnelled proceeds from cocaine trafficking into Albanian property, using falsified titles to disguise the money\u2019s origin, and have since frozen roughly 110 million euros ($126m) tied to the sale in a notary\u2019s account,” Al Jazeera reported.<\/p>\n

Shehu\u2019s lawyer Kujtim Cakrani denied the allegations to Reuters. <\/p>\n

\u201cNothing that has been alleged regarding Mr Artur Shehu\u2019s character is true,\u201d he told Reuters. “Mr Shehu is aware of the allegations made by the Albanian prosecution. These allegations do not concern him because he maintains that the truth is entirely different from what the prosecution claims.”<\/p>\n

A U.S. Justice Department spokesperson declined Reuter’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Ivanka and Kushner’s announcement that they plan to build a $1.6 billion luxury resort on Sazan Island, a protected nature preserve on Albania’s largest island, already sparked mass protests. However, it hasn’t stopped the couple from moving forward with the deal and snapping up coastal land.<\/p>\n

Shehu sold a strip of pristine Albanian coastline to Kushner’s company in April, according to reporting by Reuters.<\/p>\n

“Reasonable suspicions are formed, based on evidence, that the above-mentioned assets were acquired through the use of forged documents,” according to case files reviewed by Reuters. <\/p>\n

Reuters also reported that an Albanian organized crime-fighting agency issued a warrant seeking Shehu’s arrest for laundering money for South American cocaine traffickers shipping drugs into European ports.<\/p>\n

“Shehu’s lawyer Cakrani, confirming that Shehu was a target, said he was unconcerned about the arrest warrant,” Reuters reported, “as it was ‘widely believed’ that Albanian prosecutors operated under the influence of politicians and business figures.”<\/p>\n
