The head of the former parliamentary commission of inquiry into the bank fraud Alexandru Slusari said that he had a meeting with Prosecutor General Alexandr Stoianoglo on the latter’s initiative and he felt that the official already collected enough facts about this fraud. But he was surprised to learn that Alexandr Stoianoglo hasn’t yet familiarized himself with the annexes to the Second Kroll Report that contains the names of the theft beneficiaries.

Elections – this is what is missing

Daniela Bodrug, the vice president of the Party ”People’s Movement Antimafie”, said the unionist parties of Moldova should provide a common candidate for the presidential elections of the end of this year so as to win. The president of the Action and Solidarity Party Maia Sandu said the person with the biggest chances, who is the most persuasive in this struggle and who can contribute to achieving people’s goals should run in this year’s presidential elections.
