Call to investigate alleged irregularities at private medical center in Moldova

The manager of GBG-MLD Tudor Tchaikovsky, whose son was one of the associates of Invitro Diagnostics, but who was abusively removed from the administration of the company, calls on the law enforcement and inspections bodies to thoroughly examine the work of Invitro Diagnostics. According to him, serious violations were committed in order to rob the company, with the state budget also being affected. Tudor Tchaikovsky noted that violations were committed also in the process of testing for COVID, which resulted in damage to the public budget and possible damage to the health of patients.

In a news conference hosted by IPN, Tudor Tchaikovsky said that in 2016, his son Alexandru Tchaikovsky became an associate of Invitro Diagnostics. Arcadie Topalo is the second effective beneficiary of Invitro Diagnostics. Since 2019 until present Arcadie Topalo has been represented by a company whose roots are in an offshore location in Dubai.

“The company started to be robbed in 2021, when Alexandru Tchaikovsky was removed from the administration of the company by abusive and illegal methods by Arcadie Topalo and persons from the leadership of Invitro Diagnostics – Marin Bălănuță, Invitro director, Natalia Stoianova, financial director. The misunderstandings between associate Alexandru Tchaikovsky and Arcadie Topalo, together with the managers of Invitro Diagnostics, appeared when Mister Topalo’s offer to take part in the laundering of 40 million lei on the pretext of repairing Invitro Diagnostics branches and clinics was rejected,” stated Tudor Tchaikovsky.

The manager of GBG-MLD noted that a legal and financial analysis identified serious violations of the legislation and intentional robbing of the business. During the pandemic, Invitro Diagnostics applied an incorrect methodology to test for COVID-19, using a test to examine several persons.

“We call on the law enforcement agencies – the Security and Intelligence Service, the National Anticorruption Center, the Service for the Prevention and Combating of Money Laundering, the bodies of the prosecution service and the internal affairs system, the Customs Service and the Tax Service – to conduct a thorough inspection and take other necessary measures at the companies that form part of Arcadie Topalo’s group so as to end the financing of political, subversive actions and actions aimed at undermining constitutional order, and to also assess the damage done to the health of patients and to the state budget. We consider the actions taken by Arcadie Topalo and by persons loyal to him should be minutely investigated so as to hold them to account for the financial damage and damage to health caused to citizens of the Republic of Moldova,” stated Tudor Tchaikovsky.

Several people were fined after being caught fishing at night in the Dniester River and catching fish below the minimum size allowed by law. Following inspections carried out over the weekend in districts in the eastern part of the country, environmental inspectors issued 14 citations and imposed fines totaling 11,000 lei, according to IPN.

According to the Environmental Protection Inspectorate, the inspections focused on compliance with environmental legislation and regulations regarding the protection of fishery resources, particularly in the Dniester River basin. Following the inspections, the inspectors estimated the damage to aquatic biological resources at approximately 13,000 lei, an amount that will be recovered from those responsible.

Inspectors point out that night fishing and catching fish below the legal minimum size affect the natural reproduction process of fish species and contribute to the decline in fish stocks.

Authorities are urging fishermen to comply with fishing regulations and measures to protect aquatic resources, emphasizing that these are essential for the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources.

Environmental inspectors have imposed fines of over 21 thousand lei after detecting several violations in the Calarasi district. Among these are the undocumented transportation of firewood, the improper use of aquatic basins and the spread of ragweed, reports IPN.

At the entrance to the Temeleuti locality, inspectors stopped a tractor transporting approximately 10 cubic meters of firewood. Checks revealed that the wood came from the territory managed by the Paruceni Forestry Department in the Nisporeni district, but it was not accompanied by documents confirming its legal origin. Both the driver and the forester were penalized for the violation. The total amount of fines imposed in this case was 12,500 lei.

Furthermore, inspectors have checked several aquatic basins in Calarasi and found violations of water resource usage rules. Following the inspections, four reports were drawn up, and the responsible individuals were fined 6,400 lei.

At the same time, four plots of land were found where ragweed was growing within the built-up areas of some localities. For violating the legislation that obliges owners to destroy the invasive plant, fines totaling 2,400 lei were imposed.
