The National Anticorruption Center arrested one more person in the case of “Moldasig”. The administrator of the database of the joint stock company “Registru-Corect” is investigated for money laundering and appropriation within the case that involves the president of the Administration Board of “Moldasig”, IPN reports.

According to the Center, the administrator is suspected of laundering money and appropriating assets in a large amount in collusion with the representative of “Moldasig”, through the agency of SA “Registru-Corect”.

A week ago, the National Anticorruption arrested the main suspect in this case - the president of the Administration Board of “Moldasig”. She is accused of illegally obtaining shares in a Moldovan commercial bank in collusion with other persons. She is also accused of laundering money and of causing damage estimated at about 20 million lei to the bank’s shareholders.

The preliminary results show the suspect employed a scheme by which she dispossessed bank shareholders of about 17,000 shares. To put her plan into practice, the woman falsified a power of attorney by which a third person was authorized to represent the interests of shareholders without these knowing. Afterward, the holder of the power of attorney, acting illegally in the name of shareholders, transferred a shareholding to the account of an offshore company.

Money laundering carries a penalty of up to 15 years in jail.
