TIRANA — Albanian authorities have accused prominent businessman Artur Shehu of using forged property deeds to sell coastal land worth around €110 million ($126 million) for a luxury resort project backed by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump.

Prosecutors allege that Shehu employed counterfeit documents to assert ownership of the prime seaside property, which was acquired by developers linked to Kushner’s investment firm for the high-end resort development. In addition to the alleged forgery, Shehu faces charges of money laundering, drug trafficking, and building a real estate empire with proceeds from criminal activities, according to the authorities.

As part of the investigation, officials have frozen the proceeds from the land sale, blocking Shehu from accessing the funds.

Shehu has strongly denied the accusations. His lawyer stated that his client rejects all the allegations made against him.

The developers involved in the project said they believe the land purchase was conducted lawfully and expressed willingness to fully cooperate with any legal proceedings.

The case has drawn international attention due to its connection to Kushner’s business interests in the Balkans and raises fresh questions about due diligence in high-value foreign real estate investments.
