A criminal group that was selling agricultural goods was annihilated by the Prosecutor's Office for Fighting against Organized Criminality and Special Causes. The members of the group were detained for tax evasion of big proportions.

According to the scheme, the goods were transported without any documents to many companies whose owners were the accomplices of the escapists. After the illegal commercialization, the criminal group gained 65 million lei.

"We investigate a case of tax evasion, money laundering, falsifying primary evidence and fake testimonials in the public institutions. In this sense, after PCCOCS's investigations there were detained the leaders and a couple of members of the criminal group. In four months and four days, these persons earned 65 million lei", said Vitalii Busuioc, PCCOCS deputy chief.

Thus, the money were received though three banks from Chisinau and the beneficiaries were from North, Center and South of the country. The credit carts were created on the name of criminal group's name.

 They also falsified accounting documents for legalizing the origin of agricultural production. Through these documents, individuals were transferring money to bank cards. Money was removed from ATMs and passed through intermediaries to producers of non-tradable agricultural commodities.

The final scheme resided in falsifying some schemes presented to FISC. After the investigation there were registered some phone calls, due to which the policemen found the criminal group's members.

The investigation was made by PCCOCS in common with CNA investigation officers of preventing service for money laundering.

PCCOCS detained many persons in this case. If found guilty for money laundering, they risk to spend between 5 and 10 years behind the bars and 6 years for tax evasion.
