The prosecutors ask 19 years of imprisonment for former prime minister Vlad Filat, in the corruption trial he undergoes.

The state accusation also demands that Filat pays a huge fine (about $7.500) and the confiscation of the goods gained illegally.

Prosecutor Adriana Betisor also asks that the politician Vlad Filat should be deprived of the right to hold public positions for a 5-year term.

"We have asked a punishment of 19 years of jail for passive corruption and influence peddling, a fine of 3,000 conventional units and interdiction to hold positions in governmnent during 5 years. Confiscating his assets has been demanded. On Monday, we'll see if they will make their last statements, but they have made no statements up to now. As I understand from his lawyers they will not recognize their guiltiness," prosector Adriana Beţişor said.
