Viorel Chetraru, current deputy director of the Court of Audits, says he does not know Sorin Stati, former MoldAtsa director. Viorel Chetraru told IPN that Sorin Stati's allegations that he had put pressure on him to transfer the MoldAtsa accounts to Unibank, a financial institution involved in the bank fraud, were “absurd”.

"I do not know Sorin Stati, I did not meet him while serving as CNA director and I did not have such discussions. These are some absurd allegations I do not want to comment on,” Viorel Chetraru said.

Sorin Stati, former MoldAtsa director, could be summoned to be heard by the Bank Fraud Inquiry Commission, and the decision on the matter shall be taken on August 21.

In a message to the Commission, Sorin Stati says in particular that, during the time when he was head of MoldAtsa, Viorel Chetraru had allegedly informed him that he was obligated to keep all MoldAtsa accounts in Unibank.

Sorin Stati also states that he was daily pressured to do so by Francesco Talmaci, a current employee of the Ministry of Finance, retired from the National Anticorruption Center (CNA), who threatened him with negative consequences from the CNA.
