Three individuals have been convicted for abuse of office in the case of the illegal alienation of lands in the Truseni commune, Chisinau municipality. One of the defendants, a former cadastral engineer, received a 9-year prison sentence for embezzlement of foreign property. The other two defendants were released from punishment due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, reports IPN.

According to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, between 2010 and 2016, the former cadastral engineer allegedly conspired with two former mayors of Truseni commune, the president of a fruit-growing association, and other individuals to illegally alienate lands owned by the local public administration. The scheme would have involved intermediaries, fictitious sales-purchase contracts, and cadastral documents drawn up to create the appearance of legality in the transactions.

The damage caused to the local budget as a result of these actions is estimated at 1.87 million lei.

The prosecutors also mention that, during the period 2000-2011, other lands would have been allocated for free to intermediaries, based on non-existent decisions or ones that did not provide for the transfer of the lots into ownership. Subsequently, the lands would have been sold for prices ranging between 10 thousand and 15 thousand dollars for each lot, the estimated damage in this case exceeding 1.65 million lei.

The court has in principle admitted the civil action filed by the Truseni Communal Council for the recovery of damages, this being set to be examined within the framework of a civil procedure. At the same time, it ordered the seizure of seven plots of land and maintained the seizures previously imposed on other properties.

The sentence can be appealed to the Court of Appeal.

A delegation from the National Bank of Moldova is participating in the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, held in Bangkok, Thailand. One of the topics of discussion is the new cooperation program with the IMF, which aims to strengthen macroeconomic stability and support reforms in the context of European integration, reports IPN.

During the meetings, the NBM representatives discussed with IMF officials about the economic developments and prospects of the Republic of Moldova, monetary policy and measures to combat inflation. Another topic concerns the reform agenda of the central bank and its role in maintaining financial stability.

The new program with the IMF, a Policy Coordination Instrument for a three-year period, without a financial component, was agreed at the expert level in May 2026. According to the first vice-governor of the NBM, Petru Rotaru, cooperation with the Fund will contribute to the consolidation of macroeconomic stability. “The new program will strengthen macroeconomic stability and, through the support provided for the authorities’ policies, will increase the confidence of external partners and will facilitate the attraction of financing from other sources”, mentioned Petru Rotaru, who leads the NBM delegation.

The delegation’s agenda also includes meetings with representatives of the World Bank Group, during which financial sector reforms, the digitalization of financial infrastructure, and the expansion of financial inclusion will be discussed.

The NBM delegation is participating in the meetings in Bangkok from October 12-18. The event brings together finance ministers, central bank governors, representatives of the private sector and civil society for discussions on the global economy, financial stability and development.
