Moldovan parliament speaker urges anticorruption officers to be more resolute in fight with big corruption

Chisinau, 6 June /MOLDPRES/ - Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu has participated in the 22nd anniversary of the foundation of the National Anticorruption Centre (CNA), the parliament’s communication and public relations department has reported.   
In a message addressed to the CNA employees, the speaker urged the anticorruption officers to be more resolute in the fight against the big corruption. ‘’The people with whom I daily speak want justice and finality in the files with high impact. We want this as well. You have the support of the parliament to fulfill, in continuation, with tenacity and pride, the job duties in the interest of the state and for the people’s benefit,’’ the parliament speaker said.
For his part, the CNA director, Alexandr Pinzari, said that the institution had a huge responsibility before the society, which it should protect from the noxious elements and the risks which can attempt against the citizens’ safety. ‘’The corruption was declared as threat to the state’s security. The war at the border opened the doors to a string of crimes which implies flows of dirty money, financial schemes and attempts to influence some processes. The new powers given to CNA provided us more possibilities to document such offences. We have complex files, in which we managed to counteract the attempts of introducing millions of lei in the country and to block the illegal use of this money,’’ the CNA director said.      
The head of the parliament’s commission for national security, defence and public order, Lilian Carp, Prosecutor General Ion Munteanu and the head of the trade unions, Angela Otean, also conveyed messages to the CNA employees.    
A group of anticorruption officers were awarded diplomas of the parliament for outstanding results in the activity of prevention and combating of corruption.
The National Anticorruption Centre, the rightful successor of the Centre for Combating Economic Corruption and Corruption, today marks 22 years since its foundation on 6 June 2002.
