The yellow security alert in the Transnistrian region has been extended again. Under a decree issued by the de facto leader of the region, the alert will be valid until October 6.

At the end of April, the Transnistrian administration first introduced a red alert following a series of explosions that occurred in the region. A month later, the alert level was downgraded to yellow and was extended later.

Among the introduced measures are the requirement to register citizens when moving through checkpoints set up by Tiraspol, and heightened inspections of vehicles entering or leaving the region, and of those located in railway stations.

The Republic of Moldova and the German state of Bavaria will create an intergovernmental commission for the development of economic cooperation. The new platform will address projects in economy, agriculture, medicine and modern technologies, including artificial intelligence. This was announced by the Bavarian Prime Minister, Markus Söder, during his first official visit to Moldova, reports IPN.

In a joint press conference with President Maia Sandu, Markus Söder stated that Bavaria has established similar mechanisms with other partners on the path to European integration. According to the official, the new commission will facilitate collaboration between the two parties and will support the economic rapprochement of the Republic of Moldova with the European Union.

The Bavarian Prime Minister reaffirmed his support for the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the EU and appreciated progress in areas such as justice, police, and the rule of law. He stated that Bavaria will continue to support both reforms and economic development. “We believe that Moldova should have a place in the European Union”, declared Markus Söder.

Maia Sandu stated that the establishment of the commission was agreed upon during the discussions in Chisinau and that the authorities aim to transform political relations with Bavaria into investments, jobs and new opportunities for the business environment. According to the president, over half of Moldovan exports to Germany end up in Bavaria, and in 2025 their value increased by over 50%, up to 73 million euros.

The head of state also emphasized that the Republic of Moldova desires an accession process to the European Union based on the merits and results of reforms, without exceptions or preferential treatment.

According to the Presidency, Markus Söder’s visit takes place in the context of strengthening relations with the member states of the European Union and efforts to attract foreign investments.

The prosecutor accused in the case of the 400 thousand dollar bribe, placed under judicial control

by Irina Botu 31.07.2026

The prosecutor accused in the $400,000 bribery case has been released from house arrest and placed under judicial control for 30 days. The decision of the Chisinau Court, Ciocana headquarters, was upheld by the Central Court of Appeal, which rejected the appeal of the state prosecutors, reports IPN.

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has contested the decision of the first instance, which rejected the extension of house arrest and ordered the replacement of the preventive measure with judicial control. However, the Central Court of Appeal left the decision in force.

The file was made public at the end of March, when the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, in conjunction with the National Anti-Corruption Center and the National Investigation Inspectorate, detained a prosecutor and four police employees, investigated for passive corruption. According to law enforcement, the suspects allegedly asked for 400 thousand dollars to influence the resolution of a money laundering case in favor of certain individuals. As part of the case documentation, a portion of the alleged sum would have been transferred under the control of the investigative bodies.

Following the searches and hearings conducted then, two of the detained police officers were released, while the prosecutor, two other police officers, and the person previously detained remained in the custody of the law enforcement agencies.
