Plahotniuc may sue Minister Recean for his statements

First Deputy Head of Parliament Vlad Plahotniuc said the Interpol General Secretarial headquarters in Lyon answered his inquiry, saying he is neither wanted nor followed by it. The politician informed about this following reports that he was tracked by Interpol, Info-Prim Neo reports. In a press briefing before the first sitting of the Parliament’s spring-summer session, Vlad Plahotniuc said he received this information from France in January, but didn’t make it public because he expected more related allegations to be made. The reports that Plahotniuc was tracked by Interpol appeared at the end of 2012. The politician said then there was launched a campaign aimed at denigrating him. Recently, Minister of the Interior Dorin Recean stated that Vlad Plahotniuc was followed by Interpol. The First Deputy Speaker demanded that the minister deny his statements. Otherwise, he will sue him for slander. The head of the Liberal-Democratic parliamentary group Valeriu Strelet proposed including a bill by which to give a vote of no confidence to Vlad Plahotniuc in the agenda. The bill was signed by 28 Liberal-Democratic MPs. The relations between Vlad Plahotniuc and the Liberal-Democratic Premier Vlad Filat have become tenser. On February 13, Filat announced that the PLDM withdrew from the Alliance for European Integration.
