Per CIA, GDP per capita in Albania is $18,100 with a population of 3.1m people
Ivanka and Jared know how to pick soft targets.
In terms of corruption, Albania ranks 98/180:
25% of public service users paid a bribe in the previous 12 months.
The limited ability to enforce the law, combined with corruption, weak institutions, and a significant informal economy, renders Albania vulnerable to money laundering despite recent efforts to strengthen the anti-money laundering system in the country.
About the real estate purchase:
Bledar Alexandros Konomi, a University of Cincinnati professor of statistics, told the Independent that it’s “very obvious that a big corruption scheme is going on.”
Albania is ranked tenth in Europe for criminality by the Global Organized Crime Index.
