The information was communicated on Facebook by one of his lawyers, Ion Cre\u021bu, IPN reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow much effort, but we were ultimately heard, as an innocent person should not be held illegally and those who committed the offense should be brought to justice. Those who are against the release of Platon Veaceslav, stop supporting the real beneficiaries of the bank fraud and do not defend the interests of Plahotniuc Vladimir, by conveying false messages to the people,\u201d the lawyer posted on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>On May 18, Prosecutor General Alexandr Stoianoglo <span style=\"background:white\">said the case started against Veaceslav Platon was fully fabricated and a procedure to review the sentence will be initiated. He also said that Vladimir Plahotniuc is one of the main beneficiaries of the bank fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Veaceslav Platon spent four years behind bars. In April 2017, the Chisinau City Court sentenced him to 18 years in jail for <span style=\"background:white\">swindle and money laundering in very large amounts that caused damage of over 800 million lei to Banca de Economii (Savings Bank<\/span>). In December 2017, Platon got 12 years behind bars for trying to take sums of money from several insurance firms in which he was a majority shareholder out of Moldova in 2016, when he was under arrest. He allegedly asked for the support of members of the special purpose detachment \u201cPantera\u201d in this regard. On January 30, this year, the Chisinau City Appeals Court quashed the December 2017 decision by which <span style=\"background:white\">Platon was given 12 years in jail.
