VIDEO // Man prosecuted illegally collecting information for Russian special services

A man is prosecuted for actions carried out in the interests and at the direction of representatives of a foreign special service and unconstitutional security structures from the Transnistrian region. He allegedly collected information without authorization, to the detriment of Moldova’ security.

According to Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Organized Crime and Special Causes (PCCOCS), the individual allegedly established and maintained contacts with representatives of the special services of the Russian Federation, including through individuals of the unconstitutional security structures of the Transnistrian region.

As part of this collaboration, the suspect was allegedly recruited to collect information about the activities of Moldova’s constitutional authorities, particularly institutions responsible for national security.

Thus, the concerned individual allegedly acted on the basis of assignments and in coordination with representatives of the foreign special service, seeking to get information about data held by state institutions concerning the activities carried out on the territory of Moldova by representatives of foreign special services, the authorities' level of awareness of their operations, as well as any measures taken by national institutions in this regard.

As part of the criminal case, the suspect was charged with the offense of unauthorized collection of information. Subsequently, the individual was placed in pretrial detention.

The criminal investigation is ongoing, in order to establish all circumstances and identify other individuals involved in the activities under investigation.
