The instruments that the Moldovan authorities have for investigating the $1B bank fraud as well the challenges of gathering evidence and documenting the circumstances of the fraud were some of the subjects addressed at a meeting between Modlovan law enforcement representatives and experts of the International Monetary Fund.

Representatives from the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, the National Anticorruption Center (NAC) and the Agency for Ill-Gotten Gains Recovery met today with an IMF delegation for a presentation of how the investigation goes into the bank fraud, NAC said in a press release.

“The meeting aimed to provide objective information to development partners about the volume of work done by the Moldovan law enforcement towards bringing those involved in the fraud to justice and towards recovering the embezzled money”, says the press release.

NAC describes the investigation as “extremely complicated, convoluted and unprecedented in the practice of the Moldovan law enforcement agencies.”
