An Albanian court has ruled that former prime minister Sali Berisha, who is accused of corruption, must report to prosecutors and not leave the country while his case is under investigation.
FILE - Sali Berisha, the leader of the Albanian opposition center-right Democratic Party, injured, speaks after he has been attacked during an anti-government protest held near a summit of European Union leaders and their counterparts from the Western Balkans in the capital Tirana, Albania , on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022. Albania’s former prime minister Sali Berisha said Saturday, Oct.
Last week, the 79-year-old Berisha announced the charges against him and his son-in-law, 50-year-old Jamarber Malltezi, who was arrested on the same charges of corruption and money laundering. The case was made public last Saturday, three years after Interior Minister Taulant Balla, then head of the governing Socialist Party’s parliamentary faction, sent a file with allegations against Malltezi and Berisha to the anti-corruption court.
Both the United States government in May 2021 and the United Kingdom in July 2022 barred Berisha and close family members from entering their countries because of alleged involvement in corruption, using “his power for his own benefit and to enrich his political allies and his family members” and interfering in the judiciary.
