The Audiovisual Council slapped the channel Orizont TV with a 75,000 lei fine for airing advertising promoting the fugitive politician Ilan Shor disguised as news stories.

One story covering a pop concert that was hosted on July 31 by the amusement park OrheiLand, a pet project of Ilan Shor, stressed that every Saturday children get free ice cream at the park thanks to Ilan Shor. The content was not marked as advertising.

On August 3, Orizont TV aired a story covering a political rally held to protest the closure of Ilan Shor’s “social shops MeriShor”. The story had a clearly laudatory tone favoring the politician.

In another newscast, on August 7, the channel praised Shor’s personal involvement and financial contribution in organizing a festival dedicated to the late folk legend Iurie Sadovnic.

Diesel exceeds the threshold of 29 lei per liter. The National Agency for Energy Regulation has increased the maximum reference price by 48 bani. Therefore, on Wednesday, standard diesel will be sold at the pump for 29.01 lei per liter, IPN reports.

At the same time, a liter of gasoline with an octane rating of 95 will cost a maximum of 29.41 lei, an increase of 22 bani.

Recently, oil prices have been constantly increasing amid the intensification of violence in the Middle East and the interruption of supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.

After an increase above the threshold of 90 dollars, the price of Brent oil fell today to 89.73 dollars per barrel, while a barrel of WTI oil reached 83.01 dollars, from almost 85 dollars. Volatility remains high as there is no predictability regarding deliveries and the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran has been suspended.
