Albania's Special Anti-Corruption and Organized Crime Prosecution Office (SPAK) has opened an investigation into a luxury resort development project linked to Jared Kushner, former senior White House adviser and son-in-law of Donald Trump.

The coastal development has sparked violent protests in Albania, drawing scrutiny from anti-corruption authorities. The investigation comes as the project faces mounting opposition from local groups and activists concerned about the development's impact on the coastal area.

Despite the controversy, the resort project has received backing from Albanian leadership. Government officials have expressed support for the development, even as protests have intensified and the anti-corruption investigation proceeds.

The luxury resort represents one of Kushner's international business ventures following his departure from government service. The project has become a focal point of debate in Albania, with supporters citing economic benefits and critics raising concerns about transparency and environmental impact.

SPAK, Albania's specialized prosecution office established to combat high-level corruption and organized crime, will examine various aspects of the resort development. The agency has not disclosed specific details about the scope or timeline of its investigation.
