Six persons who were arrested a month ago in the bank fraud case were transferred under house arrest by a decision taken by the Ciocana branch of the Chisinau City Court, IPN reports, with reference to the Prosecutor General’s Office.

At different stages, the judges rejected prosecutors’ requests to issue or extend the warrants for the arrest of these persons. The court accepted the appeals of the lawyers, who asked to place their clients under house arrest for a month. These are the ex-managers of the three bankrupt banks (Banca de Economii, Unibank and Banca Socială) and the representatives of the Shor holding who were recently charged officially on two counts.

The Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office and the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Special Cases charged the six with considerable swindle and laundering of money in the interests of a criminal organization.
