The criminal proceedings instituted against decision makers of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM), who were arrested almost a year ago in the bank fraud case, go on. The investigations conducted by prosecutors continue, while the accused are investigated outside custody.
“According to the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, the accused are now investigated outside custody. Within the investigation, tangible and intangible assets of the accused were confiscated so as to repair the damage caused by the offense,” the Prosecutor General’s Office said in a response for IPN.
The institution noted that the revealing of any other data can affect the principle of confidentiality and the proper conduct of the investigation. “We also note that any person is considered innocent until a definitive and irrevocable court judgment is passed. The PGO will inform the general public about the results of the actions taken in this case, as it does in all the cases of increased interest.”
At the end of last March, six functionaries of the NBM were charged with participation in swindle and money laundering. They included a former governor of the NBM, a former vice governor, two vice governors, a division head and a department head.
