New raids in Cahul on voter corruption and money laundering case

Law enforcement bodies conducted new raids today in the south of the country on a case of voter corruption and money laundering. Following these operations, several individuals were interviewed, providing relevant details about the investigated actions.

According to the General Inspectorate of Police, the actions took place in several localities in Cahul district.

“The actions occurred in a criminal case involving offenses of voter corruption, illegal financing of political parties, initiative groups, and electoral competitors, committed on a large scale. The measures also target money laundering committed by an organized criminal group on an exceptionally large scale,” announced IGP.

During the searches, documents, draft notes, and mobile phones were seized, considered essential evidence for the investigation.

The criminal investigation continues to establish all circumstances and gather the necessary evidence for a legal decision.

Over the last two weeks, the police have conducted over 200 searches, resulting in the detention of nine individuals investigated in a criminal case initiated for acts of electoral corruption, illegal financing of political parties, and money laundering.

The detained individuals allegedly acted out of material interest for the benefit of the Shor criminal organization. They were preparing to corrupt voters in anticipation of this fall's parliamentary elections. Various methods were used to achieve their goals, by which dubiously sourced funds were transferred, converted, and distributed through the PSB mobile application of the Russian bank Promsviazybank.
