The US$1 billion stolen from the Moldovan banking system is mainly outside the country’s borders. A part of the stolen bank funds went through banks of Latvia and effort is now made to create common investigation groups, IPN quoted President Igor Dodon as saying in the program “President Responds”.
The official said that he recently had a discussion with his Latvian counterpart and he will most probably send an official letter to him by which he will ask him to make sure that the investigators there do not block the work of Moldovan prosecutors.
“A part of the money that was inside the country represents blocked assets of several billion lei. There are a number of banks that were involved in those schemes. The former administration of the National Bank and current functionaries of the Bank were also involved,” said President Dodon, noting that the prosecutors follow a good course in this case.
