An Albanian court has ordered former president and prime minister Sali Berisha to be placed under house arrest over corruption charges related to his time in office.
Prosecutors accuse Berisha, 79, of using his influence as prime minister from 2005 to 2009 to favor his daughter's husband in the privatization of state land. Berisha denies any wrongdoing.
Berisha now heads the largest opposition party in Albania, the Democratic Party. /BGNES and Reuters
