A businessman from Vulcanesti, who shot dead his business partner in the autumn of 2013, was sentenced to 21 years in jail. The Taraclia Prosecutor’s Office announced they will challenge the sentence because they consider it is too mild, IPN reports.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the collected evidence showed that in the evening of October 31, 2013, the culprit, together with the victim, travelled to a field near Carbali village of Vulcanesti district, where the latter was to convince himself that there was a sunflower field for which he invested 440,000 lei.
