The request to lift the immunity of MP Ilan Șor is a cheap and bad taste show, said the party’s MP Marina Tauber. She is convinced that this is revenge taken for their intention to initiate the “impeachment” procedure, IPN reports.

“Șor Party has been the target of abuses on the part of the government. We angered them by our intention to initiate the “impeachment” procedure against Maia Sandu and by the declaration on the capture of the state by the PAS grouping and, surely, by the elections in the municipality of Bălți,” Marina Tauber stated in a news conference.

The MP stated those who say they abide by the European values use the prosecution service as a cudgel and this is ridiculous. “We realize, Missis Sandu and your company, that you are afraid of Ilan Șor because he, as a politician, is more powerful than you and he did much more than you did,” said the MP, noting that the “impeachment” procedure will be completed.

The presidential administration hasn’t yet reacted to Marina Tauber’s accusations.

The Prosecutor General’s Office asked to lift the parliamentary immunity of Ilan Șor. The prosecutors requested to lift the parliamentary immunity so as to detain, arrested, search and send to court Ilan Șor on a number of charges, such as large-scale swindle, money laundering, creation and management of a criminal organization, falsification of documents, appropriation and abuse of power. In accordance with the Parliament’s regulations, the MPs will pronounce on the prosecutor general’s request in a secret ballot.
