At the end of August, the current president of the Republic of Moldova and the candidate in the presidential elections, Igor Dodon<\/strong>, announced his visit to the Athonite monasteries to\u00a0\u201cpray for people, for a Moldova that lives in peace and unity,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0as he\u00a0stated on social media,<\/a> despite all the restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Still, according to a recent investigation<\/a> of Ziarul National, the real purpose of Dodon’s visit to Greece was the meeting with Vladimir Plahotniuc,<\/span> a former political leader from the Republic of Moldova who has been declared internationally wanted on October 28, 2019.<\/p>\n

“While Dodon was heading to Bucharest to reach Thessaloniki, Vladimir Plahotniuc packed his bags and left the United States. He returned to Europe, including Thessaloniki,”<\/em> as it is mentioned in the investigation. Plahotniuc and Dodon’s arrival in Thessaloniki in the same period of time wasn’t considered a coincidence by journalists, a set of confirmatory documents being presented. The investigation showed that Plahotniuc arrived in Berlin first, then he had a flight to Nice, where he saw his family, and from there he flew to Greece.<\/p>\n

The meeting would have taken place at Pomegranate Hotel in Halkidiki on August 30, <\/strong><\/span>that hotel being the propriety of Artiom Ceaika<\/strong>, the son of the former Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

Moreover, according to the same investigation, Igor Dodon arrived at the hotel on a yacht that belonged to one of Plahotniuc’s business partners<\/span> – the Bulgarian citizen Vasil Bozhkov<\/strong> who was hiding from the Bulgarian justice in Dubai. The Bulgarian judiciary issued an arrest warrant in his name, just like the Moldovan judiciary did in the case of Vladimir Plahotniuc.<\/p>\n

In Plahotniuc’s case, the arrest warrant was issued on May 22, 2020, the former Moldovan politician being accused of scam, money laundering, as well as organising and leading criminal organisations, for<\/span> which the law provides up to 15 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Igor Dodon denied that the meeting with Plahotniuc in Greece happened: “I had the last meeting with Mr. Plahotniuc on June 7, 2019. I very much hope that the next meeting, if it takes place, will be in one of the penitentiaries of the Republic of Moldova,”<\/em> Igor Dodon declared<\/a> for Ziarul National.<\/p>\n

“These are aberrations thrown by electoral opponents. Those who published this forgery will be prosecuted,”<\/em> said<\/a> president’s spokesperson, Ludmila Muntean<\/strong> for ZdG.<\/p>\n

Plahotniuc’s travel itinerary<\/h3>\n

In March 2020, the US Embassy in Moldova confirmed that Vladimir Plahotniuc was on the US territory. On August 28, Plahotniuc left the US.<\/a> “The US Embassy in Moldova confirms that Vladimir Plahotniuc voluntarily left the United States on August 28, 2020. […]Due to his involvement in significant acts of corruption, Mr. Plahotniuc is not eligible for entering the United States,”<\/em> stated<\/a> the institution for Jurnal TV.<\/p>\n

After the meeting with Dodon, Plahotniuc supposedly took the same private jet to Otopeni Airport in Bucharest, where he was seen at the beginning of September.<\/p>\n

Still, on September 30 only, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Moldova<\/strong> published a communiqu\u00e9<\/a>, officially announcing that Plahotniuc crossed the border of Romania and Turkey between September 7-10, 2020. “The Interpol office in Chisinau has sent an official request and we are currently waiting for a response from the competent institutions in Turkey, to let us know if Vlad Plahotniuc has not left this country,”<\/em> is mentioned in the communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n

One day before that, the Office of the Prosecutor General (OPG)<\/strong>\u00a0announced<\/a> that a request\u00a0 was sent to the competent authorities of Turkey to extradite the former democrat leader in order to be held accountable in the Republic of Moldova. The OPG mentioned that Plahotniuc entered Turkey on September 10 remaining in the same country until that moment.<\/p>\n

Here it becomes quite clear that the communication between the Moldovan institutions is not very efficient in this regard.<\/p>\n

The journalists from Jurnal TV declared<\/a> that Vladimir Plahotniuc also met several politicians while staying in Turkey, including former President of the Parliament, Andrian Candu<\/strong>, and former Prime Minister, Vladimir Filat<\/strong>. The latter was sentenced to nine years of imprisonment on October 15th, 2015, being found guilty of passive corruption and influence peddling. He was released from detention in December 2019.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the same source claimed that Plahotniuc has visited the United Arab Emirates at the beginning of September in order to manage his offshore bank accounts. There, he supposedly met with Vasil Bozhkov, as he tried to obtain asylum in UAE.<\/p>\n

“Plahotniuc would try to obtain asylum in the United Arab Emirates because, in Turkey, it would be much more difficult. Turkey has an extradition treaty with the Republic of Moldova. Plahotniuc also has problems with the law related to money laundering in the Emirates.\u00a0 If he does not solve them, he has no chance to stay there.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today, nobody can say for sure where Vladimir Plahotniuc is, whether it’s Turkey, the UAE or any other country. Today, Vladimir Plahotniuc – the most famous oligarch in the history of Moldova – is still free and has no other care than where to hide his stolen money. No matter how much effort authorities say they make to held Plahotniuc accountable and how politicians swear they don’t meet him, nobody has any reason to believe them.<\/p>\n
