The Executive Committee of the National Bank of Moldova on October 16 decided to withdraw the licenses of Banca de Economii, Banca Sociala and Unibank and to initiate the process of liquidating them, IPN reports, quoting a communique of the central bank.
Under the Executive Committee’s decision, Grigorii Olaru will be the liquidator of Banca de Economii, Sergiu Berghie - of Banca Sociala, while Ruslan Grate – of Unibank. The three liquidators are employees of the central bank. These will cooperate with the law enforcement bodies within the performed investigations and with the representatives of the consortium Kroll and Steptoe& Johnson LLP so that the organizers and final beneficiaries of the dubious transactions are identified and the money stolen from the three banks is restored.
The National Bank said the process of transferring the time and sight deposits of the natural and legal persons from the three banks to other banks is over. Starting with October 19, the depositors of the three banks will have access to their money at the banks that took over their deposits, based on the conditions of the existent contracts.
