Marcel Boekhoorn flew from Florence to a point outside Tirana, Albania, on June 21, 2026, his Dassault Falcon 900 touching down after a 68-minute hop across the Adriatic. The destination is notable: Boekhoorn's Ramphastos Investments has no known major holdings in Albania, but the region is within reach of Milan, where the legal calendar is active.

Italian prosecutors have filed money laundering charges against Marcel Boekhoorn, per a report from InView and confirmed by Kartoteka. The charges stem from Ramphastos's 2017 acquisition of an 80 percent stake in Talenta Labs, a casino software firm, using €2.5 million prosecutors say originated from mafia-linked Paolo Tavarelli. Boekhoorn and two partners face scrutiny over the SKS365 deal, with Tavarelli awaiting trial.

Boekhoorn, based at Rotterdam The Hague Airport, has kept his Falcon busy this month: a June 5 trip from Antalya to Rotterdam, a June 7 hop to Malaga, then a June 13 arc from Malaga to Ibiza to Zurich. The Tirana landing breaks the pattern of Western European destinations, suggesting a meeting tied to the unfolding legal trouble rather than a routine business stop.
