ACUM DEPUTIES DEMAND PGO TO INVESTIGATE MONEY LAUNDERING WITHIN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

23 octomber, 2019

MPs Octavian Ticu, Lilian Carp and Iurie Renita of the ACUM bloc called on the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) to investigate the possible money laundering during the presidential election campaign in 2016.

Iurie Renita said at the Tuesday's briefing that the request was made on the basis of the National Anti-Corruption Center (NACC) report MPs got into possession.

According to him, the document, since the beginning of 2016 a number of physical persons connected with the PSRM were actively participating in large-scale money laundering schemes. Large sums of money were transferred to accounts of offshore companies in the Bahamas, which later were used in the election campaigns. As an example, Renita cited the transferring of 1.4 million euros to one of companies which belongs to a Socialist MP in February 2016.

"Everything demonstrates that the consideration of the prepared report was suspended. The political factors played a role and it was decided that the support to Igor Dodon on his way to presidency is more important. We all know how closely Dodon and Plahotniuc were communicating up till the evening of June 7, 2019", he said.

Nevertheless, the MP did not disclose the source from where he got this document. Neither had he insisted on its authenticity, saying that it is for clarifying the situation the request was submitted to the PGO.
