Major Mafia-Style Attack Outside Tirana Courthouse

An armed attack targeting a high‑profile criminal defendant outside Tirana courthouse has killed several people and injured others, sparking a manhunt in Albania.

On March 22, 2026, an armed attack occurred outside the Special Court against Corruption and Organised Crime in Tirana, where a suspected mafia‑style hit targeted a high‑profile criminal defendant being escorted into court. Multiple gunmen opened fire in broad daylight, killing several people, including court staff and security personnel, and injuring many others. The attack has been treated as a mafia‑style assassination attempt aimed at intimidating prosecutors and judges handling organized‑crime cases. Albanian authorities have launched a nationwide manhunt for the perpetrators and have tightened security around all major courthouses and judicial figures. Initial investigations suggest links to international drug‑trafficking networks that have increasingly used violent intimidation to disrupt anti‑corruption prosecutions.
