Former NBM executive to stand trial in 2014 fraud case

A former deputy governor of the National Bank of Moldova will stand trial in the infamous 2014 bank fraud case. According to the Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office, the accused official facilitated the embezzlement of funds held by the commercial banks Unibank, Banca Socială and Banca de Economii.

In particular, the former central bank executive is accused of conspiring with a criminal organization to commit fraud by abusing her office. The unnamed defendant is also charged with money laundering in particularly large amounts.

“According to evidence, prosecutors found that the criminal organization led by Vladimir Plahotniuc was made up of several organized criminal groups, including the organized criminal group led by Ilan Shor. The latter de facto controlled, through proxies, the banks Unibank, Banca Socială and Banca de Economii”, the Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office said a press release.

While stopping short of naming the defendant, the use of feminine pronouns in the press release suggests that the Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office could be talking about Emma Tăbîrță. Recently, she was cleared of charges in the Laundromat case by a district court and prosecutors said they would not appeal.
