Former minister of finance Veaceslav Negruța, who is an expert of Transparency International Moldova, said the hiding of the Second Kroll Report led to the commission of other wrongdoings. According to him, the report contains important things for a narrow segment of specialists, such as prosecutors and economists, those who know to analyze and understand such information. For the general public, the most important element – the list of final beneficiaries – is absent. The topic was developed in the talk show “Emphasis on today” on TVR Moldova channel, IPN reports.
“Society deserves to know its “heroes”,” stated Veaceslav Negruța. He noted it is not true that if the list of beneficiaries is made public, this could affect the investigation. “We clearly see that by hiding this report, the beneficiaries from behind and the disclosed ones started to move particular assets – to sell property, to change the owners of particular firms. The sequestration of the property of particular groups that were mentioned in reports shows the prosecutors, by inaction and by hiding the Kroll report, created this comfortable corridor for the beneficiaries to hide their trails.”
According to the expert, the investigation into the bank fraud can no longer cover only Moldova and should be internationalized. “The prosecutors and state institutions made everything possible for no information to be requested. There was made no approach to the European or American authorities to seek help,” stated Veaceslav Negruța, noting the property located in Moldova should be further sequestrated.
He also said the Second Kroll Report shows very clearly where the €1.1 billion went. The money reached European countries, offshore areas.
