The Supreme Court of Justice on Wednesday examined the appeal filed by the lawyers for Ilan Shor, who was sentenced by the Chisinau Court of Appeals to 15 years in prison. The deliberation hearing to pronounce on the admissibility of the appeal was set for November 28, IPN reports.

The hearing on November 28 will start at 10.00 a.m. and will not involve the parties.

In June 2017, Ilan Shor was sentenced to seven and a half years behind bars for causing damage to the state through deception and breach of trust. By the decision of the Chisinau Court of Appeals of April 13, 2023, Ilan Shor was definitively sentenced to 15 years in prison. The Court banned him from holding positions in the banking system for a period of five years and ordered the collection of 5.2 billion lei from him. Ilan Shor left the country before the sentence was pronounced, and the extradition proceedings have so far remained unanswered.
