PM says country fights against organized crime ring, sponsored from abroad with exorbitant sums

Moldova fights against an organized crime ring, sponsored from abroad with exorbitant sums, worth almost 2 per cent of Moldova’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Prime Minister Dorin Recean today made statements to this effect, in the context of the electoral fraud from the presidential elections. The official said that a ‘’systemic approach’’ was necessary, in order not to allow the repeating of such actions in the long run, CE Report quotes MOLDPRES

„We fight against an organize crime ring, sponsored from abroad with exorbitant sums, almost 2 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product of Moldova. Such an attack is unprecedented; this is a new form of the hybrid war, where the foundation of the democracy is attacked. It is important that we have celerity, i.e. we should move very quickly in the researching of the criminal files, once they are investigated, once the criminal prosecution measures undertaken. Equally important is that the prosecutors, judges work, so that these files have finality. I repeat, we have this big problem, because some 15-20 people are not imprisoned; they continue to perpetuate the fraud and perpetuate the crime,’’ Dorin Recean stressed.
