Officers of the National Anticorruption Center are investigating a citizen of Syria for traffic of influence. He asked for €8.300 from a student, who is also a foreign citizen, for helping him to be readmitted to the Chisinau University of Medicine after being expelled, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué from the Center.

The suspect, who studied at the same university, said that he has influence over persons from the university’s administration and can solve the student’s problem concerning the expulsion. The suspect was caught in the act of taking a tranche of €1,200 on November 8.
