The head of GRT TV channel Vasili Dermenji categorically rejects the information about alleged suspicious transfers of about 124,000 lei to his bank accounts, which was made public by the Council for the Promotion of Investment Projects of National Importance and about which IPN wrote. In a message addressed to the Agency, Vasili Dermenji stressed that the representatives of the Council did not take into account and did not properly verify the data presented by him on this subject. He considers that the information was misinterpreted, thus affecting his honor and professional reputation.
Vasili Dermenji noted that he has two bank accounts. One of them included the salary of executive director of GRT television station. He transferred this money to his second account from which he covered current expenses. All the bank statements were presented to the Council for the Promotion of Investment Projects of National Importance. There were no suspicious transfers or transactions from other people.
“It is regrettable that the members of the Council did not bother to verify the information I furnished. I provided all the necessary documents, but, despite this, a misinterpretation of events was hastily made, which affected my honor and professional reputation. It is regrettable that none of the media outlets, which declare themselves to be free and reliable, tried to contact me for a comment, to understand the situation. Instead, they published information that misleads the public,” said Vasile Dermenji.
The head of GRT television station requests the Council for the Promotion of Investment Projects of National Importance to examine the documents he made available to it. “I am convinced that a careful examination of these materials will remove any suspicion,” added Vasile Dermenji.
