ANTICORUPTIE ARRESTS ACCOUNTS OF COMPANY INVOLVED IN STEALING A BILLION DOLLARS FROM MOLDOVAN BANKS

The Anti-Corruption Prosecution Service aka "Anticoruptie" has imposed an arrest on the bank account in the amount of 11.13 million lei of the security company Argus-S in Victoriabank.

According to the Prosecutor General's Office, since the beginning of this November the Argus-S leadership have initiated two remittances totaling US$660 thousand onto the account of OTIV Prime Services BV company in Turkey. It was established that the companies’ de-facto beneficiary is Vladimir Plahotniuc. The Anticoruptie has blocked the remittances in a belief that the money must be confiscated.

According to mass media reports, Moldovan fugitive oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc, wanted internationally on three serious accusation cases, was in Turkey in October.

And on Wednesday, on the demand by Anticoruptie, 50 million lei was arrested on the accounts of Bass-Systems company.

As was already reported by Infotag, Argus-S was founded by people from the Plahotniuc’s surrounding. Its main task was to ensure the oligarch’s personal security.
