In Albania, the former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj , part of the government cabinet in the first term of Prime Minister Edi Rama , was arrested today under suspicion of involvement in a corruption scheme for benefits from the funds of the Agency for the Coordination of Foreign Aid and the programs of EU.
