The Liberal Democratic Party says in a communiqué that the councilor involved in a case of swindle in Danceni, Ialoveni, is not a member of the PLDM, while the disseminated information about his actions represents a form of misinforming the people and a new attempt to damage the party’s image, IPN reports.

More than 40 persons from Ialoveni district called on the authorities to help them get back the money they saved with a loan association. They accused of swindle the former mayor of Danceni village, who headed the given association.

In a news conference at IPN on September 24, deputy head of the People’s Movement “Antimafie” Daniela Bodrug said the person who appropriated the money is a member of the Liberal Democratic Party and it is opportune for the party’s leader Vlad Filat to go to Danceni to see what his councilor does. According to Daniela Bodrug, there are more such associations in the country’s settlements and they enjoy political support.

The losses sustained by the depositors from Danceni amount to about 2.7 million lei.
