Albanian authorities arrested Erion Veliaj, the mayor of Tirana, on Monday, accusing him of corruption, money laundering, and related crimes. If convicted, Veliaj could face up to 15 years in prison, prosecutors said. The Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) also charged Veliaj’s wife, Ajola Xoxa, placing her under house arrest. SPAK alleges the couple secured more than 1 million euros ($1.03 million) in illicit income over four years through a corrupt scheme.
