The prosecutor Machidon’s response to Plahotniuc’s lawyer’s accusation about extradition

The lawyer of the former democratic leader, Vlad Plahotniuc, repeatedly accuses the authorities in Chisinau of delaying his client’s extradition to the Republic of Moldova. The Ministry of Justice in Chisinau would use various legal tricks, claims the lawyer Lucian Rogac.

“Usually, at the international level, the state requesting extradition sends a single request, with all the files gathered together. This means a single procedure, a single court session, and a single final decision. But in the case of Vladimir Plahotniuc, the General Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Justice in Chisinau have divided the files into several portions. Thus, for each separate file, a new request is made, a new session is held, and a new decision is made,” states the lawyer in a video post.

The Ministry of Justice has not yet responded in this context and, when asked by IPN, promised to issue a statement at the appropriate time.

In the meantime, the acting Attorney General, Alexandr Machidon, clarified that the extradition request for Vlad Plahotniuc to Moldova is currently under review by the Greek authorities. He mentioned that he is to verify whether Chisinau has received a notification in this regard.

The Court of Appeal in Athens approved on August 13 the extradition of Vlad Plahotniuc to the Republic of Moldova. According to Greek law, the final verdict belongs to the Ministry of Justice of Greece.

Vlad Plahotniuc was detained at the Athens airport, based on requests transmitted through Interpol.

The “Eugen Doga” International Airport in Chisinau has launched a public tender for the current repair and maintenance of the asphalt concrete surfaces of the aerodrome platform. The estimated value of the contract is 67.2 million lei, excluding VAT, reports IPN.

According to the announcement published on the public procurement platform, bids can be submitted during the period of August 3-17, after the clarification request stage has ended, which will take place until August 3.

According to the technical documentation, a large part of the investment is intended for the repair of platform no. 1, where the aircraft parking spots are located. The verified estimate for these works is approximately 55 million lei, including VAT.

The repairs are not limited to the area where the aircraft are stationed, but also target the infrastructure used daily by airport services. Thus, the repairs also include the connection area between the control point and the aerodrome platform, the parking area designated for airport vehicles, the area where the workshops and material depots are located, as well as the area of the fuel supply station. At the same time, work will also be carried out on the access road to the passenger terminal.

The specification book indicates that the need for interventions was identified following technical inspections. The documentation further stipulates that the interventions will be carried out in operational areas and with restricted access, without affecting the airport’s activity.
