PRISTINA (Reuters) - Albania's main opposition leader Sali Berisha said he had been officially indicted on Wednesday on corruption charges for actions he took when he was prime minister, describing the indictment as a political vendetta.
Prosecutors accused Berisha in October of using his influence as prime minister between 2005-2009 to exert pressure to conclude a privatisation procedure in favor of others including his daughter's husband. Berisha denies any wrongdoing.
