Four persons suspected on money laundering arrived at the National Anti-Corruption Prison. The people were detained after 35 searches of Organized Crime Prosecutors and CNA officers in many companies from Chisinau and Edinet. The suspects were taking part of a criminal group that damaged the state budget with 10 million lei, in 2017.

"Each member had his own role in committing fiscal breaches, delivery services, the liquidation of financial resources obtained in the result of the activity. They were making fake transactions, due to which they were "delivering" the goods", said Mariana Cazacu, PCCOCS prosecutor.

The suspects were issuing fake documents for the physical and judicial persons who were selling agricultural products, especially, apples and were avoiding to pay the taxes. They were receiving the money on a debit card. The prosecutors revealed the suspects through some telephone interceptions. The lawyer of a company involved in the cases refused to comment on the accusations. 

"What reaction? I want to talk with my customer. Please, respect my privacy. -Did you manage to talk with your client? - No."

If found guilty, the suspects risk up to 10 years in prison for money laundering and 6 year for tax evasion.
