Businessman who sold land for Kushner resort in Albania suspected of faking the deeds [View all]
TIRANA, July 11 (Reuters) - A Miami-based businessman wanted in Albania for allegedly laundering drug money is suspected of faking the deeds to land where Jared Kushner wants to build a multi-billion-dollar resort, the country's organised crime-fighting agency said in case files reviewed by Reuters.
The businessman, Artur Shehu, denies all accusations against him, said his lawyer, Kujtim Cakrani, who confirmed that Albanian prosecutors had issued a warrant seeking Shehu's arrest for laundering money for drug gangs.

In April, Shehu sold the strip of pristine Albanian coastline for the planned resort to Albania Land Development, a company which is owned by the Kushner-backed project's developers Sazan Real Estate Development and other investors.
"Reasonable suspicions are formed, based on evidence, that the above‑mentioned assets were acquired through the use of forged documents," prosecutors wrote in the case files.
