Veaceslav Platon has been sent to trial in a case where he is accused of organizing and directing an illegal scheme to take over a share package of the commercial bank “Moldova-Agroindbank” SA. The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office announces that the criminal investigation has been completed, and the case has been sent to court for examination on the merits, reports IPN.

According to the PA, Platon would have organized transactions with the bank’s shares without the will of the legal owners or their successors, based on false documents. As a result, a package representing 43.11% of the share capital of “Moldova-Agroindbank”, worth over 400 million lei, would have been obtained.

Prosecutors assert that, subsequently, in order to conceal the illicit origin of the actions, these would have been traded to non-resident companies, the real beneficiary of which would have been Veaceslav Platon.

For the recovery of criminal assets, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has seized monetary means equivalent to the value of the damage, a part of which has been returned to the injured parties in the process of enforcing the executive titles.

Veaceslav Platon was sentenced in 2017 to 18 years in prison in the “Bank Fraud” case, but was acquitted in 2021, after prosecutors dropped the charges. Subsequently, he left the Republic of Moldova and was announced internationally wanted. In 2025, he was detained in the United Kingdom on the basis of an extradition request, being subsequently released on bail. Platon pleads not guilty.
