The Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office will probe the statements about the scheme to steal money from the national banking system made by the former National Anticorruption Center (NAC) employee Mihail Gofman for a TV channel, IPN reports.

In a press release, the Prosecutor General’s Office says the ex-deputy head of the NAC’s Money Laundering Prevention and Combating Service Mihail Gofman will be summoned for questioning within the investigation into the bank fraud at 9:30 on July 5.

In a program on TV 7 channel, Mihail Gofman said the scheme to steal money from the banking system of Moldova was designed by services from outside the country, including from Russia, so as to control the foreign exchange reserves of Moldova and ruling Moldovan politicians were involved in this scheme.

He also said that Vlad Filat, Ilan Shor, Vlad Plahotniuc and Veaceslav Platon were the main players involved in the theft of the billion, but none of these is the coordinator. According to him, the coordinator is a person close to Vladimir Plahotniuc and is not a public figure.

The ex-National Anticorruption Center employee noted that the list of persons who are to be arrested in the case of the bank fraud was compiled based on political criteria and Iurie Leanca comes next on this list.
