Former Albanian PM Sali Berisha indicted on corruption charges related to 2005-2009 tenure, accused of aiding son-in-law in privatizing public land.

Sali Berisha, former Prime Minister of Albania and leader of the opposition Democratic Party, has been indicted on corruption charges linked to a property deal during his tenure from 2005-2009. Prosecutors allege he abused his position to aid his son-in-law in privatizing public land for development. Berisha denies wrongdoing, calling the charges politically motivated. He has been under house arrest since December, and both the U.S. and U.K. have barred him and his family from entry due to corruption allegations.
