Igli Tare investigated for money laundering in Albania
Igli Tare, the former sporting director of AC Milan, is under investigation by Albania’s Special Prosecution Against Corruption (SPAK) for money laundering and corruption.
Prosecutors allege that Tare was involved in a scheme with former Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku to conceal undeclared assets. Specifically, authorities claim Balluku registered two villas in the coastal areas of Dhërmi and Palasë under Tare’s name to hide profits gained from corrupt activities. These properties have since been seized.
Balluku, who was removed from her post in November 2025, is also facing charges related to the favoritism of public tenders for major road projects valued at hundreds of millions of euros. Tare was reportedly questioned by investigators in August.
