​EX-PREMIER FILAT’S CONFISCATED PROPERTY TO BE AUCTIONED OFF

The property of former prime minister Vlad Filat, confiscated by decision of the court, will be sold at auction, Head of the Anti-Corruption Prosecution Service Viorel Morari stated to the press on Friday.

Morari reminded that earlier this week the Supreme Court of Justice left in force the judgment made by a first-instance court, according to which Vlad Filat is serving a 9-year term in jail. The court has also published the materials of the Filat trial held in closed-door regime.

Prosecutors said that the Filat property will now be entrusted to the National Tax Inspectorate, which will put it up for auctions, and auction proceeds will be remitted to the State Budget. The property was arrested right after the criminal prosecution of Vlad Filat had begun.

The property list includes 4 de-lux cars total worth over 4.5 million lei; immovable property (houses, buildings, land plots etc.) work over 791 million lei (some 35 million euros).

Besides this, subject to auctioning are Vlad Filat’s shares in the Capital Invest Company (49% worth 6.3 million lei), in Ipteh Company (35% worth nearly 4.5 million lei), a package worth 5.8 million lei in an investment company, etc.

The auction list includes, besides many other real estate objects and land plots, the mansion in Chisinau’s Valea Morilor Park area estimated initially at 4.6 million lei, in which Vlad Filat lived with his first wife Sanda and two children. However, after divorcing her, Filat moved into another house.
