A luxury resort planned by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner faces a new challenge from villagers who say their land was wrongfully sold by an accused gangster.
The president’s daughter and her husband plan to develop a $1.4 billion resort on the uninhabited island of Sazan in Albania, as well as a wider hotel development along the Zvërnec coastline worth around $4.7 billion. Weeks of protests have raised concerns that the wildlife-rich area, with its flamingos and sea turtles, could be at risk from the project.
Adding to the controversy is the revelation from Reuters that some of the land earmarked for the project is at the center of a tense legal dispute over ownership. A dozen residents of the village of Zvërnec have alleged that their land was wrongfully sold for development since 2024, the year Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners, struck a deal to proceed with the project.
