Chisinau-based call center's administrators accused of tax evasion exceeding 164 million lei

A call center from the capital is involved in a major case concerning tax evasion and money laundering, having allegedly defrauded the state budget of over 164 million lei. The company's administrator and accountant have been identified as suspects.

According to the Prosecutor's Office for Combating Organized Crime and Special Causes (PCCOCS), during the period 2019–2023, they allegedly illegally applied a preferential tax regime, undeservedly benefiting from tax breaks after declaring that they provided services in another domain eligible for tax exemptions. In an attempt to conceal a portion of the fraudulently got money, the suspects allegedly invested over 31 million lei in a non-bank credit company, and therefore they are also investigated for money laundering.

Law-enforcement officers descended upon the company's headquarters, as well as the suspects' residences. They seized accounting documents, electronic equipment, handwritten notes, as well as over 900,000 lei, 90,000 euros, and 30,000 U.S. dollars.

The criminal investigation is ongoing.
