The issue of Democratic Leader Sali Berisha has also been mentioned in the Committee on Good Governance in the United States Congress.
Investigative journalist Tyler O'Niel has testified in Congress that the Open Society Foundations and USAID supported an institute that implemented changes in justice in Albania.
He also says that these changes allegedly led to the imprisonment of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha (opponent of Prime Minister Edi Rama), with the aim of silencing him.
"The Open Society Foundations and USAID have also collaborated in supporting the East West Management Institute, which received $31.2 million from USAID during the last fiscal year that ended on September 30. This institute initiated changes in the judiciary in Albania, which critics claim led to the criminal prosecution of Albanian opposition leader Sali Berisha, silencing an opponent of the country's socialist prime minister," he told Congress, writes A2 CNN.
