The searches conducted at the offices of Șor Party are an attempt to make us keep silent, to give up the portests and to make us yield to presure. This is the reaction of Șor Party to the searches carried out today by anticorruption prosecutors and officers of the National Anticorruption Center at activists of the party, IPN reports.

According to the party’s leader Ilan Șor, after representatives of Șor Party last week announced that they will not yield to the pressure of the government and will not stop to defend the people’s interests, the Presidential Office ordered to conduct searches at the party’s offices and to take legal action against members and the administration of the party.

“We call on international organizations, diplomatic missions working in Chisinau, embassies to be very attentive to what is going on and to follow how the law enforcement agencies act. It is inacceptable for such things to happen in a state with the rule of law,” says the press release issued by Șor Party.

The searches are carried out in a criminal case started over the illegal financing of Șor Party, said the Prosecutor General’s Office.
