Șor Party MP Marina Tauber expects her immunity will be lifted and she will be then arrested. She said she is not afraid of such scenarios. Addressing acting prosecutor general Dumitru Robu, Marina Tauber said that she does not avoid prosecution, does not falsify evidence and does not hamper the investigation and there are no reasons for her arrest, IPN reports.
“We know that this decision was taken behind the curtains already. As you can see, I’m here and I will prove our innocence. We will all prove Mister Ilan Șor’s and my innocence. We realize very well that these political shows are necessary because of the price rises and because of the social and economic crises in our country. This is dust in the eyes,” Marina Tauber told a news conference, noting she was earlier accused of similar deeds, but it turned out that it was a political order.
“I want to prove my innocence according to the procedures stipulated by the penal legislation and to take an active part in the investigation. I do not intend to avoid the investigation bodies.”
In the May 19 siting of Parliament, there were presented four applications by which the acting prosecutor general requested to allow lifting the parliamentary immunity of Șor Party MPs Ilan Șor and Marina Tauber so as to detain, arrest, search and bring the persons to justice. Marina Tauber is featured in two of the applications, while Ilan Șor in another two applications. These invoke the Penal Code articles “money laundering” and “swindle”.
In September 2019, Marina Tauber was stripped of parliamentary immunity, being blamed for active participation in the robbing of the banking system by offering assistance in the takeover of a bank by the group of Ilan Șor. As a result, the MP was arrested together with her mate Reghina Apostolova. Later, Alexandru Stoianoglo said the case against the MPs was started illegally and the two were charged illegally as they didn’t have any involvement in the bank fraud.
