Anticorruption prosecutors submitted to court a number of applications, asking sequestrating movables and immovable property, bank accounts and farmland belonging to persons charged in the case of banking frauds and to companies suspected of being involved in it. These possessions are suspected of having being obtained through the fraudulent loans taken out from Banca de Economii (BEM) and through dubious financial schemes, IPN reports.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the property that could be sequestrated is worth tens of millions of lei. The measure is aimed at recovering a part of the damage caused to BEM and at preventing the sale of this property.
The Buiucani District Court placed the four suspects from the administration of the company Caravita under arrest for 30 days. The four have been charged with laundering of money from Banca de Economii and face five to ten years in jail.
