The police has started investigating a new case of aggression on Today.md news portal reporter Vadim Ungureanu.

The journalist was repeatedly yanked and verbally assaulted by DA Platform Party activists, backed up by the Ţopa fugitive convicts. The incident occurred on Monday on the central square in downtown Chisinau.

Earlier, media protection NGOs expressed concern over repeated attacks on journalists and asked the police for more involvement.

So far, only one DA Platform Party activist, Aureliu Pisica, has been fined 500 Moldovan lei for hitting Ungureanu’s stomach.
