The Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office sent to court the criminal case concerning the attempt to corrupt lawmakers, IPN reports. According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the two persons arrested when they were transmitting US$250,000 to an intermediary on March 7 will stand trial. The money was to be passed on to an MP for convincing him to leave the government coalition.
During the investigation, the anticorruption prosecutors and officers of the National Anticorruption Center found half a million euros in a safe deposit box in a Chisinau bank, which was rented by one of the suspects. The collected evidence shows that this sum was to be used to corrupt another two members of Moldova’s Parliament.
The prosecutors will ask the court to order confiscating the money. Both of the suspects are under arrest. The case was remitted to the Buiucani District Court.
