The mayor of Orhei Ilan Shor is to be invited to the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office after he published a posting on a social networking site saying he put money in envelopes for ex-Premier Vlad Filat to give it to Maia Sandu. Spokeswoman for the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office Anastasia Mihalceanu said Ilan Shor is to be summoned in the nearest future, IPN reports.

In his posting, Ilan Shor wrote that Maia Sandu is a mediocre manager of the PLDM project that he financed and that he knows how much money Vlad Filat paid to her monthly in an envelope as a bonus to the salary as he was the one who put that money in envelopes.

As a result of this posting, the leader of the Party “Action and Soldiarity” Maia Sandu reacted by saying that Ilan Shor lies impudently as she never took money in an envelope or somehow else from Shor, Filat or someone else. “Why does he make false accusations against me? Because he is afraid. He must be. The statute of limitations for the stealing of US$ 1 billion never expires and there is no place on earth where he could hide. Sooner or later, he and all the others who took part in the theft of the century will be held accountable and will stay in jail until the end of their life. I will sue him for slender,” Maia Sandu wrote on a social networking site.

A year ago, the Court of Chisinau sentenced the ex-president of the Administration Board of Banca de Economii Ilan Shor to seven years and a half in jail for causing damage to the state by swindle and abuse of trust. The sentence was challenged in the Chisinau Appeals Court and the case was later transferred to the Cahul Appeals Court. Until a definitive judgement is passed, Ilan Shor is free.
