Prosecutors freeze Air Moldova assets, including two planes

The Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office and the Assets Recovery Agency have frozen 670 million lei worth of assets, including cars, real property and two airplanes belonging to Air Moldova.

The National Anticorruption Center said in a press release that the airline’s flight operations have not been affected by this or previous criminal procedures. 

The restraint is in connection with an investigation which alleges that important amounts of money were laundered via fraudulent transactions during the company’s privatization last year.

Today’s measure, in addition to a recent 302 million lei restraint on Air Moldova’s statutory capital, takes the total value of the frozen assets to nearly one billion lei. 

A preliminary report by Parliament’s special inquiry committee says there is “reasonable doubt” that Air Moldova’s assets were embezzled before the company was privatized in a process which seriously violated procedure.
