The investors in apartments of a residential complex located on Calea Orheiului St in Chisinau, which was erected by the company Glorinal, said that even if the complex was to be put into commission in 2014 and a lot of relevant promises were made, this hasn’t been done yet. According to them, practically all the dwellers paid the sums that were to be invested to the company and there are documenters confirming this. The investors also said that they do not yet have documents showing that the apartments belong to them.
In a news conference at IPN, Vitalie Jacota said that he is one of the 219 investors who invested in the complex from 113/1 Calea Orheiului St. “Those who speak about the innocence of the managers of Glorinal maybe don’t know or don’t want to tell the truth and try to persuade you that the dwellers are to blame for many things,” he stated.
As to the accusations that paid people come to the protests they mount, Vitalie Jacota said that attempts are being made to mislead public opinion. “Yes, artists come, but they attend these events not as artists, but as investors who worked honestly for that property,” stated the investor. According to him, the people just want the construction of the complex on Calea Orheiului St to be finished, the blocks to be made available for occupancy and they to get documents for the bought apartments.
Investor Viorica Kostashko said that when she decided to invest in an apartment, she took measures not to become the victim of swindlers. In 2015, she and her husband settled in Moldova. The building was to be put into commission at the end of 2013, but hadn’t been yet made available for occupancy at that time. In 2016, the gas supply was turned on. There was a real building site there. In 2017, a number of investors mounted a protest and the company’s representatives promised that all the investors in September 2017 will have ownership documents. But they soon learned about a dispute with a bank. Investors’ apartments were pledged by the company for taking out a loan in only two months of the payment of the apartment.
Investor Elena Borovic said she paid the money for the apartment in 2010-2011. She regularly visited the building site to see how the works went. Under the contract, the block was to be put into commission in the second half of 2013. At the end of the year, she made all the payments and was to be issued with ownership documents. The clauses weren’t respected, but the company assured that the block will be made available for occupancy soon. She was carrying out repair works in the apartment and found out the real situation from neighbors. In 2017, she learned that the apartment was put up as collateral and a series of lawsuits followed.
Eugeniu Jitariuc noted he possesses documents showing that he invested in an apartment in 2012. Even if the block was to be put into commission in the second half of 2013, after long discussions he received the keys to start the repair works in 2016. The man presented a number of sales slips that weren’t shown in the accounting records. A part of the dwellers paid by €40,000, but only €5,000-6,000 were indicated in the accounting records.
