The SIS head said that after the outlawing of the Shor Party, leader Ilan Shor would have migrated the party's activity to a new formation - Chance Party. It is to this formation that large sums of money were transferred to corrupt the electoral process, including from Russia. The media resources owned by Shor and Plahotniuc were also transferred to this party. Large sums of money would also have been paid for advertising on a social network.
