The president of the Shor Party Ilan Shor said the fake video in which he is shown to transmit an envelope to President Maia Sandu is certainly a fake and tasteless farce, IPN reports.

Ilan Shor noted this “idiotic fake or stupidity” reveals that the opponents are persons with flaws, without honor and conscience.

“However, it seems that this so clumsy and unprofessional fake blinded as it is evidently a fake of a poor quality, while the idea of those who ordered it is even worse. Politics based on lies, fakes and false information is not possible,” Shor posted on Facebook.

JurnalTV channel presented evidence according to which Veaceslav Platon and Ilan Shor intended to discredit President Maia Sandu by launching a fake video in which President Sandu is shown to receive an envelope from the fugitive MP, IPN reports.

According to the information presented by journalists of JurnalTV, Veaceslav Platon created a real network of trolls paid with large sums of money, whose task was to discredit Maia Sandu in the campaign prior to the snap parliamentary elections of July 11. The network was annihilated by the responsible bodies before the dissemination of the fakes.

JurnalTV said the video was designed with the aim of being posted on the Internet before the snap parliamentary elections so as to create the impression that Sandu took money from Shor.
