Former Albanian President Ilir Meta has been arrested on charges of corruption and money laundering. AP reported this on Monday, October 21.

The 55-year-old politician was detained by the National Bureau of Investigation in the capital Tirana when he returned from Kosovo.

In turn, television channels published a video showing how the police pulled Meta out of the car.

Freedom Party General Secretary Tedi Blushi called the detention a “criminal kidnapping.”

While the Albanian prosecutor’s office has yet to comment on the detention.

After a meeting with the police department, his lawyer Genç Gekutaj said that cases of suspected corruption, money laundering and concealment of personal income and property are being investigated against the former president.

Ilir Meta served as the President of Albania from 2017-2022.

We remind you that on October 30 the European Commission will provide an annual assessment of progress in countries applying for membership in the European Union (EU).

It was previously known that the second meeting of the EU Accession Conference with Albania at the ministerial level was held in Luxembourg on October 15, marking the beginning of the actual negotiations on the country’s membership.
