TIRANA, April 27 – Albania’s Special Prosecution Office said it intensified its focus on high-level corruption and financial crime during 2025, as part of broader efforts to strengthen rule-of-law enforcement.
Head Klodian Braho told the High Council of Prosecution that investigators handled more criminal cases compared with the previous year. He also said the use of detention measures decreased, which he linked to a more targeted prosecutorial approach.
Braho pointed to a rise in investigations involving senior officials. He said new corruption cases increased during the year, while prosecutors continued work on ongoing files linked to public office holders.
The prosecution office also reported continued court proceedings involving current and former officials. Some cases resulted in convictions, while others progressed through trial stages.
Meanwhile, prosecutors expanded financial investigations targeting illicit asset flows. Authorities seized and confiscated assets linked to corruption and money laundering cases, including digital currencies.
Braho said part of the confiscated assets was linked to senior officials, underlining asset recovery as a key element of anti-corruption enforcement.
