PAS suggests private guard agencies should be banned from providing services to state

The PAS MPs propose amending paragraph 10 of Article 23 of the law on private detective and guard activity so as to ban the private guard agencies from offering services to the state institutions, IPN reports.

In a press briefing, PAS MP Ion Groza said there are state guard services that do not have access to contracts that should be actually assigned to them, but are signed by private agencies. Together with the implementation of this bill, the state institutions and buildings could be protected only by state guard services.

PAS MP Dan Perciun said the bill is designed to prevent private companies affiliated to the administration of the Ministry of Home Affairs or to particular public figures from guarding strategic state institutions.

“The problem is old and dates from the time of Plahotniuc, when the well-known company Argus, which was then owned by ex-deputy minister of home affairs Zubic, guarded strategic state institutions of the Republic of Moldova,” said the MP.

According to Dan Perciune, after June 2019 this practice didn’t stop and was undertaken by the new administration of the Ministry of Home Affairs. There are also private guard agencies that belong to Ilan Shor and these guard courts of law.

The MPs said the bill is identical to another bill that was adopted in 2019, but was withdrawn from Parliament for unknown reasons and was abrogated by the Government.
