Tamara Bachko from Ungheni town said that she became the victim of injustice and that state bodies are involved in actions by which she is illegally dispossessed of her house and the adjacent lot. “I experienced corruption and influence at a high level, with threats. I consider my family’s security is at risk. My rights to free movement, communication and to defend myself in court are violated,” she told a press conference hosted by IPN.
The woman lives in a private house downtown and the house has two co-owners. She and her family have lived there since 1978, and the neighbor came in 1997. The house has a single cadastral number, but in the middle there is a fence and there are two separate entrances. “I lived without problems until, in 2017, my husband went to the cadastral office and asked for the Real Estate Register. The Register shows that Bachko Gheorghe owns one third of a lot of land, but the owner of the house is not known. In 1982-83, we received the first certificate of ownership, paid all the taxes, added particular structures with the consent of the mayor’s office. Until 2017, we paid tax on 133 square meters of real estate, together with my neighbor,” explained the woman.
The husband was told that he didn’t ask for inheritance in 1982, but Tamara Bachko denies this fact. According to her, then the owner, who had two sons who claimed inheritance, had a trial in court. The court decided to divide the house among the sons and her husband. They received a certificate of ownership from the Cadaster Office and the husband registered it with the mayor’s office. The house was under demolition. In the 1990s, it was to be demolished and the second part of the house that belonged to the sons who lived in Chernivtsi was empty.
At that time, any sale of this house was forbidden. Until a family of conductors working on the Chisinau-Moscow train appeared. Tamara Bachko told that the head of the Cadaster Office did all sorts of things, including forging particular documents, in order to sell the other part of the house. In 1990, the demolition was canceled and the family erected some other parts with the permission of the mayor’s office. In 2017, when they learned that they weren’t heirs, they went to court and the court made a decision saying that Bachko Gheorghe accepted the succession since 1982, when the owner died. Even so, the Cadaster Office refused to register the right of ownership. A new dispute followed and the succession was again recognized, but the Cadaster Office was not obliged to make the registration. The Court of Appeals finally decided to send the case back for retrial, as requested by the lawyer for the Cadaster Office. In the woman’s opinion, all those involved reached agreements with each other, including her lawyer, because there is interest in her house and the adjacent lot.
Tamara Bachko said that her husband passed away. Over time, they submitted dozens of complaints to law enforcement agencies, to the Government, the President, but they only obtained formal answers. “Everywhere I asked for an audience, but all in vain. The ordinary people are not welcomed anywhere and are not helped by anyone,” noted the woman.
