Four persons are investigated for illegally acquiring a state-owned lot situated in the municipality of Chisinau, which they later sold for approximately €2 million. The National Anticorruption Center (NAC) and anticorruption prosecutors carried out searches at a number of addresses in a case of large-scale swindle and of stealing of documents within a civilian lawsuit, IPN reports.

According to the NAC, a group of persons who held different posts at a Moldovan children’s foundation and in the judicial system made changes in civilian cases and in court case records to help dispossess the National Children’s and Youth Center ARTICO of a lot of 0.543 ha located close to Dendrariu Park in Chisinau. The lot was later sold to a business entity for about €2 million.

A number of electronic storage devices were seized as a result of the searches.
