Updated US sanctions former Albania leader Berisha over corruption
TIRANA, Albania (AP) The United States on Wednesday sanctioned former Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha for alleged “significant corruption” and barred him and his wife and children from entering the U.S.
Berisha, 76, who also served as Albania’s president from 1992 to 1997, is currently a lawmaker representing the opposition Democratic Party.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement that during Berisha’s 2005-2013 tenure as prime minister, the politician “was involved in corrupt acts, such as misappropriation of public funds and interfering with public processes, including using his power for his own benefit and to enrich his political allies and his family members.”
