Shor Party lawmaker Marina Tauber was released from house arrest and placed under judicial control, a form of bail, as ruled by the Chisinau/Ciocana Court on Tuesday.

Talking to reporters after the court session, Tauber reiterated her claim that the case against her was a plot by President Maia Sandu.

On July 21, Tauber was stripped of parliamentary privilege before being arrested. Subsequently she has been charged with two offenses: knowingly accepting illegal financing for the Shor Party from an organized criminal group; and falsifying the party’s financial report for the first half of 2022 with the intention of withholding actual incomes and expenses. She spent almost two months in a remand facility before being released under house arrest on September 14.
