\n

In late May,\u00a0 dozens of protestors gathered at a scenic lagoon outside the Albanian coastal city of Vlore on May 23 to oppose the development of a luxury resort\u00a0 by an international consortium led by Jared Kushner. The demonstration received scant attention from Albania\u2019s media establishment, which is controlled by many of the same oligarchic forces that support the Kushner project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But over the next two weeks, the public mood in Albania turned sharply against the resort, in addition to another Kushner-helmed development. The projects have reportedly amassed some $4 billion from global investors, including Kushner\u2019s longstanding partners who run sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East. The developers of the Vlore resort sent a stark message by erecting a barbed-wire fence around the property and unleashing a retinue of private security guards to administer beatings to the next round of anti-development protestors in early June. These draconian measures reinforced the broader Albanian public\u2019s impression that their country is becoming a plaything of privileged oligarchs; the protests continued to gain momentum, and built into a major political crisis by the end of last week, with thousands of people now turning out for near-daily protests.<\/p>\n

The Albanian government, led by the semi-autocratic and pro-development Prime Minister Edi Rama, now faces a unique coalition of environmental activists, local residents claiming corrupt developers and government officials screwed them out of their property, and ordinary people concerned that\u00a0 Albania\u2019s explosion of luxury development is linked to money laundering. Among other things, the mounting protests in Albania are demonstrating that the Trumpian model of oligarchic impunity is not only aging badly in America, but also proving to be an increasingly toxic export.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The complicated and messy scandal has galvanized antigovernment sentiment among Albanians, who have long endured rule at the best of\u00a0 powerful oligarchs and corrupt politicians with extensive ties to an Albanian organized crime diaspora. Rama\u2019s Socialist Party and the opposition Democratic Party (with neither socialism nor democracy being anywhere close to either party\u2019s actual governing agenda) often trade accusations of corruption that\u00a0 the Albanian people have credited\u2014often with sound justification.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a political battle between two sets of criminals,\u201d one local journalist remarked about the Albanian governing duopoly. \u201cThere\u2019s no good guys here, so people accept the accusations are true and apply to both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, the disillusioned-to-cynical Albanian public seems to have found a new common enemy in Jared Kushner and his high-rolling investor consortium. The conflict harks back to 2024, when Rama unilaterally approved Kushner\u2019s controversial development proposal for Sazan Island, a waterless rock covered in Cold War-era bunkers off the coast of Vlore\u2014along with a smaller, but still disruptive project that would level a nearby coastal wetlands. Albanian environmental regulators were sidelined as Rama fast-tracked the deal. He was initially able to contain public discontent by touting the tourist revenues from the Kushner projects to one of the smallest and poorest countries in southern Europe\u2014a pitch very much in line with Rama\u2019s campaign to get Albania approved for European Union membership.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sazan Island, about five square miles of rocky scrub an hour off the coast, historically has been a closed military zone\u2014a monument to the paranoid, autocratic reign of Albania\u2019s former communist dictator Enver Hoxha. The rocky outcropping had been heavily fortified with a welter of\u00a0 bunkers, minefields and artillery emplacements, all to fend off an impending invasion by an unlikely alliance of NATO, the USSR and neighboring Yugoslavia that never materialized.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the Hoxha regime\u2019s fall in 1991, Sazan remained empty, apart from the odd hiker or curious Italian tourist. The island has no water source, almost no beach, and a prohibition on camping because of forgotten minefields, long-abandoned stocks of rotting antique artillery shells, and a population of extremely poisonous vipers. With Vlore\u2019s hospital more than an hour away by boat, a snakebite would prove fatal, so hikers are forced to leave at sunset. Albanians had long greeted any proposal to build a resort on Sazan as a punchline, insisting that there\u2019s a reason it remained uninhabited over the past 6,000 years or so.<\/p>\n

But that all changed in 2021, when Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump took a\u00a0 holiday yacht trip\u2014accompanied by the banking heir Nathanial Rothschild, who introduced the pair to Rama. The power couple fell in love with Sazan and the neighboring Zv\u00ebrnec peninsula on the mainland. Zv\u00ebrnec, a more viable spot for a resort and home to marshlands, pristine beaches, monk seals, and about 70 species of endangered birds including flamingos. By 2024, Kusher\u2019s investment fund Affinity Partners, backed by a trio of Qatari billionaires, had proposed a series of developments anchored by luxury hotels on Sazan and Zv\u00ebrnec.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From there, Rama went into oligarch-appeasing overdrive\u2014environmental impact be damned.\u00a0 As work on both developments proceeds, Albanians are becoming outraged over the thoughtless damage wrought on the country\u2019s ecosystem. \u201cA protected landscape of global importance is under attack, and people are demanding an end to the devastation,\u201d said Anouk Puymartin, Head of Policy, BirdLife Europe and Central Asia. \u201cNature belongs to everyone, not a handful of investors. The horrendous situation in Vjosa\u2013Narte shows why laws are crucial to protect both people and nature. But those protections mean little if governments fail to uphold them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rama had no doubt calculated that the Kushner projects would escape close attention because he\u2019s already done so much to despoil the Albanian landscape. Since he came to power in 2013 after a popular stint as Tirana\u2019s mayor, Rama has worked closely with real-estate developers across the country\u00a0 to approve a seemingly endless number of construction projects, including huge apartment towers sprouting across Tirana. These projects are adding tens of thousands of luxury apartment units to a city of a few hundred thousand people that continues to lose population each year to economic migration across the continent. Nobody thinks these apartments will be occupied.<\/p>\n

Rama has remained defiant in support or the Kushner deal and other commercial development plans, even as thousands of protestors continue to camp out in front of his office every day for a week. \u201cIf it was not Jared, they would not give a shit about what is happening in Albania,\u201d said Rama from an EU summit in neighboring Montenegro on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not wrong. Albania hardly commands the attention of the world media, while the exploits of Trump and his family are reliable sources of global news coverage. But Rama has also mishandled the government\u2019s response to the protests, further inflaming grassroots opposition to the Kushner projects. He\u2019s said that builders won\u2019t be pouring concrete on the heads of flamingos\u2014a botched attempt at humor that only underscores his administration\u2019s profit-driven end runs around environmental regulation. He\u2019s also promised to launch Albania into the \u201cChampion\u2019s League\u201d of European tourism without addressing the open corruption and self-dealing that are fueling the protests. All the while, he\u2019s failed to address what most Albanians and European regulators see as the elephant in the room: Albania\u2019s growing prominence as a haven for organized crime in Europe.<\/p>\n

Albania is a lovely, welcoming place for visitors and virtually free of street crime. Albanians follow strict codes of personal honor so stealing a mobile phone is unthinkable, lost wallets are returned with the money inside, laptops can be left in cafes unattended and muggings are unheard of. At the same time, however, the country\u2019s tightly knit social ethos has proved hospitable to organized crime: the same sense of honor, combined with a strong network of family clans, a complete distrust of government authority, and close cultural and geographic proximity to southern Italy\u2019s mafia heartland, has helped to foster prime conditions for mafia control. Over the past two decades, Albanian clans have taken over much of Europe\u2019s cocaine trade, which has immersed an otherwise poor country in illegal, hard-to-spend cash. And\u00a0 the government isn\u2019t about to spurn the economic benefits of this influx.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The luxury construction boom in Albania is a prime case in point. \u201cIt\u2019s obviously money laundering by organized crime,\u201d said my journalist colleague, who investigates crime and corruption.\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019ve got to turn cocaine money from the cartels working in the UK and northern Europe into assets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all a recipe for corruption on a massive scale, as powerful business interests coordinate new development projects with the government, and the international mafia ecosystem. Kushner and his consortium of investors aren\u2019t direct players in this system\u2014but it\u2019s unthinkable that his local business backers and government officials friendly to the projects aren\u2019t involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This kind of corruption is simply priced into most major investment projects in Albania. Dozens of suits are wending their way through the courts alleging that land allotted for potential development\u00a0 was fraudulently seized by alliances of local officials and business concerns. These charges are part of a larger pattern of big-money players preying on Albania\u2019s chaotic system of property ownership, which has yet to work through the fallout from mass communist-era land seizures. Prominent lawyer and developer Pellumb Petritaj, whose client base included several owners of disputed development parcels, was convicted of fraud in 2018\u00a0 for forging property ownership documents in a welter of other real-estate deals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shefqet Kastrati, meanwhile, is perhaps Albania\u2019s most powerful oligarch. He owns the international airport, most of the country\u2019s gasoline stations, and has built much of the country\u2019s infrastructure. Kastrati is reportedly a party in the Kushner deal, even though the exact nature of his alleged involvement has yet to come to light. Still, Kastrati\u2019s\u00a0 son, Musa, was photographed standing next to Ivanka Trump at the press event announcing the project\u2014suggesting that the inner workings of the Albanian oligarchy, like the American one,\u00a0 are very much a family affair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like their counterparts in the Rama government who counted on sneaking the developments by the public, the protestors have promoted opposition to the Kushner developments as part of a broader strategic assessment. Albania\u2019s political and business class is too influential to be effectively challenged outright\u2014so protestors have privately said that Kushner and his partners, a Qatari based consortium controlled by billionaire investor Moutaz Khayyat and his two brothers, are a prime target of opportunity, since they symbolize an ethos of reckless and self-interested exploitation all too familiar to the struggling Albanian population. \u201cThey\u2019re easier to attack in public but the result is the same,\u201d said one anti-corruption activist. \u201cIt\u2019s hopeless to go after the government and mafia, but we can go after Trump\u2019s son-in-law as a way to hurt [the local actors] and make some progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Albania\u2019s embattled but independent anti-corruption task force, known by its acronym SPAK, seems to be following the same logic as it seeks to quell concerns from the European Union about the role of moneyed influence in the country\u2019s judiciary. On June 2,\u00a0 SPAK prosecutors announced the seizure of bank accounts and business records of Albania Land Development, a local company managed by a Netherlands shell company, pending an investigation into fraudulent property title and other unspecified concerns surrounding the Kushner deal. I tried to visit the offices of Albania Land Development last week, only to find them empty. But one key data point about the firm is resounding among the growing crowds of protestors in Albania: it turns out that its ultimate owner is Kushner\u2019s Qatari crony Moutaz Khayyat.<\/p>\n
