A commercial society and its administrator, along with other persons, are accused of money laundering and tax evasion.

According to prosecutors, in 2014, in order to cover illegal gambling, through electronic communication systems, the legal person registered in an off-shore zone, signed a contract to offer services to a commercial society from Republic of Moldova.

As the contract's beneficiary, the legal person, who was not living in Republic of Moldova, during January 2014 - February 2017, by organizing sport betting on-line, on web pages created for this purpose, illegally gained money from our country's citizens, through the accounts opened in the electronic payment system, although these activities constitute a state monopoly.

The suspects have gained an income of around 28 million lei. The illegal earnings were masked by exchanging money to Euro and USD, then transferred to banks from Germany and Liechtenstein.

At the same time, to recover the damage, PCCOCS  prosecutors confiscated goods gained through the crime, worth around 8 million lei, real estate and cars owned by the suspects, including 4 luxurious cars and parts from owned apartments and lands.

If found guilty, the suspects risk to spend the next 10 years in jail, with a fine to 16 000 conventional units, while the commercial society risks liquidation.
