Centering of strategy on recovery of money only is mistaken, economic expert

The centering of the strategy of the National Anticorruption Center and the Prosecutor General’s Office only on the recovery of the embezzled funds is mistaken as there should be a component concerning the investigation of public authorities’ actions in the case of the banking fraud. Such an opinion was stated by economic expert of the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” Sergiu Gaibu in the program “Black Box” on TV8 channel, IPN reports.

According to him, this strategy should cover the actions and reactions of different institutions and state officials and what they did before the appearance of the guarantee offered by the Government and after the financial gap was identified. It is strange why this strategy didn’t appear earlier given that representatives of the National Anticorruption Center and the Prosecutor General’s Office said they know more details than the KROLL provided even in its first report.

Furthermore, Parliament took no step to investigate the banking fraud. “Parliament, as an institution, should initiate such an investigation and its goal should be not to detect who namely made mistakes, but what procedures allowed such considerable embezzlement to occur,” noted Sergiu Gaibu

Economic expert Sergiu Tofilat said it has been three years and a half since the banking fraud, but the prosecutors haven’t yet managed to check all the loans released by each of the three banks to see which of them are ordinary loans and which are fraudulent loans so as to determine the real damage caused by the latter, which can be greater than the officially announced sum of over 13 billion lei. The records of transactions with the money taken out of the banking system do not disappear. These are kept at the National Bank of Moldova.

Vyacheslav Balacci, a member of the project Zeppelin Investigation, said the list of those who should be held accountable for the banking frauds is much longer. The frauds in the banking system actually started in the 1990s, but the appetite of those who benefitted from the money in the initial period was much smaller than after 2007, when great losses were discovered. It is not right to close the investigation period in November 2014 as the banking frauds continued later too.
