A new ‘illegal’ hunting activity took place near Stoicani village of Soroca district, where a 22-year-old man, Cozari Mihai, was wounded in the eye. The similarities to the fatal incident of December 2012 do not stop here: the protagonists of the hunting included representatives of the Moldovan aristocracy and attempts were made to hide the incident.”
