The Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office classed MP Denis Ulanov, who is featured in the bank fraud case, as a suspect. He is suspected of large-scale swindle and money laundering in the interests of a criminal association, IPN reports.

Anticorruption prosecutors carried out searches at the MP’s office situated inside the head office of “Avia Invest”.

According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, on March 22 MP Petru Jardan was questioned after he was stripped of parliamentary immunity, being suspected of abuse of power in the interests of an organized criminal group and to the detriment of the interests of the state-run enterprise “Chisinau International Airport” that is under concession. Yesterday, anticorruption prosecutors carried out searches at the MP’s home and in his office at “Avia Invest” company that he managed.

Denis Ulanov and Petru Jardan were remanded in custody for 72 hours. Both of the MPs say the accusations made against them are part of a political attack against them and the party of which they form part.
