BERLIN — The investigation into the death of a whistle-blower in Albania appears to be nearing its conclusion, but with little hope of quelling the suspicion and speculation surrounding the case.
Kosta Trebicka, a witness in an inquiry, died last month.

The whistle-blower, Kosta Trebicka, uncovered evidence of public corruption in the export of ammunition from the Communist era.
