Albania’s former Health Minister Ilir Beqaj has been detained following allegations of misusing European Union funds intended for the country’s healthcare system. Authorities accuse the former minister of embezzling substantial amounts from projects funded by the EU, meant to improve medical services and infrastructure.
This arrest is part of a broader crackdown on corruption within Albania, which has been under scrutiny as it seeks closer ties with the EU. The investigation continues as officials pledge to ensure accountability and transparency in the handling of public funds.
