The General Prosecutor has established that the President’s letter about coffins is fake. The letter was read out in the Parliament on November 20 by the president of Moldova Noastra Alliance, Serafim Urecheanu. According to it, the head of the state would have asked the premier to ban the wooden coffins and to replace them with plastic bags or special plastic bags, Info-Prim Neo reports. Moldova’s General Prosecutor Valeriu Gurbulea told media on December 9 that “it was proven 100% that the letter with the President’s signature was faked.” “In this case the Prosecutor’s Office has found a false and usage of false. The inquest is under way. We have to determine the authors and Serafim Urecheanu’s role in using this letter,” the chief prosecutor said. The General Prosecutor’s Office also investigates the legality of privatizing the Rezina-based Cement factory and the involvement of former director of the Privatization Department Vlad Filat in it. He is now an MP and the president of the Liberal Democratic Party. According to Valeriu Gurbulea, the French company Lafarge proposed $10 million to buy the stake in the Cement Plant from Rezina, but Filat would allegedly have sold the stake for $200,000. “It was Filat’s decision, since he was the one to have signed the contract on selling the stake in the state’s name. The law empowered Filat to neglect any other decision in this respect,” Gurbulea said. “The prosecutor’s office intervened when the case was traced out,” Valeriu Gurbulea explained why his office was searching a privatization having occurred 10 years ago. Gurbulea says prosecutors have investigated, for the last years, illegal removals of assets from the property of the Chisinau City Hall, ministries and state departments, but they were minor.
