It is worth noting that Sali Berisha and his family have been declared "persona non grata" more than a year ago by the United States of America due to major corruption. In addition to the USA, a number of researchers and analysts both inside and outside Albania consider Berisha extremely corrupt and dangerous person for the future of Albania. Some researchers think that in the protest of July 8, 2022, in Tirana, organized by Berisha and his clan, the main role was played by people who got rich through corruption when Berisha was the prime minister of the country, who in return used, corrup and sometimes pay vertically the very poor strata of Albanian society.
