On August 24th, the Anticorruption Prosecution Office announced<\/a> the finishing of the penal investigation and the sending of the case regarding the defrauding and the money laundering conducted by the former administration council head of Banca de Economii (BEM) Ilan Shor<\/a>, now mayor of Orhei. <\/p>\n

According to the prosecutors, Shor is accused of obtaining more than 5 billion lei from BEM in loans, a sum confirmed by the Kroll report<\/a>, and then laundering them through offshore companies. The loans would be given on the basis of some fake warranties of reimbursement from diverse banking institutions from the Russian Federation. Shor reportedly convinced the members of the administration council, which later declared that they were told to vote because the debtors were serious economic agents and the interest rates were high.<\/p>\n

The prosecutors found that the accused person had tried to hide the origin of the financial resources gotten from BEM through a series of transfers from some offshore accounts to others, fact confirmed by committees of prosecutors from abroad. <\/p>\n

Shor refused to recognize his involvement in the scheme, mentioning that it had been set by former PM Vlad Filat<\/a>, who allegedly asked to help businessman Veaceslav Platon<\/a> pay back debts to other banks from Moldova. <\/p>\n

The prosecutors still think that Ilan Shor is punishable for defrauding and money laundering in big proportions, risking imprisonment of up to 15 years. <\/p>\n

The case will be examined by the Court of Buiucani. <\/p>\n

The Prosecution Office announced that more than 20 cases regarding the frauds from Banca de Economii, Banca Social\u0103 and Unibank were sent to the court. Former head of BEM administration council Grigore Gacichevici, former members of BEM council and other persons liable of money laundering, traffic influence and passive corruption are accused in these cases. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
