Ion Soltoianu, double world champion in kickboxing, shot at a short distance former police officer Ion Stratulat, the bodyguard of businessman Gherman Gorbuntov. After the murder, Alexandru Jizdan left the position of head of operational service department of MAI.
“There is no connection between my dismissal and this crime. Moreover, there is also a conviction on the case of Ion Soltoianu, a final sentence. It was about the connection between Ion Stratulat and Universalbank, and not to give information that may be construed, it should go to police investigators, prosecutors who investigated this case and they will most likely tell the truth”, Jizdan said.
