🇦🇱 A Tale of Alleged Land Theft in Albania 🇺🇸 — Artur Shehu lives in a mansion in Miami. But back in his home country of Albania, the alleged drug trafficker is accused of stealing land meant to be returned after the collapse of the communist government.
🌐 The Big Picture:
Albania has struggled to return land seized under communist rule to its
original owners. Prime Minister Edi Rama pledged to resolve the land
crisis when he was elected in 2013 but has so far seen little success.
Underworld figures like Shehu are accused of using forgery and other
means to hijack the process for their own gain.
🇧🇾 Belarusian Businessmen Making Inroads Into the EU
🇱🇹 — Alexei Aleksin and Alexander Zaytsev both have ties to the regime
of Alexander Lukashenko as well as sprawling business empires that, we reveal, extend to Lithuania.
But there are some irregularities, to say the least. One company
belonging to Aleksin is based out of a dilapidated, trash-strewn
apartment that reeks of urine. Others tied to him have no employees, yet
were able to move millions of euros over two years.
🌐 The Big Picture: Aleksin
and Zaytsev are part of a new generation of Belarusian businessmen who,
unlike earlier oligarchs, are free from EU sanctions. The nature of
their activities in Lithuania raise serious questions about what they
are doing in the EU member state.
