Scandal in Prajila village. Over 800 locals 'were stolen' land rent payment
More than 800 locals renting their land to a farmer have not received their payment. Moreover, the farmer's employees did not get their salaries sometimes. The entrepreneur confesses his company to be in insolvency and are not able to pay landowners or over 100 employees.
"He let us starve and does not give us any free choice from Chisinau"
The debt accumulated by the economic agent to the landowners amounted to almost three million lei. Instead of money, the rentee promised people wheat, barley, sunflower and sugar.
"We made a contract for 500 kilograms of wheat, 20kg of sugar and 150kg of sunflowers. Barley is not written, but they promised to give barley as well."
Nor did the 100 employees of the enterprise receive their three-month wages. The debts reached 770 thousand lei.
"Every year, they paid us some times, but now they just stop!"
Nicolai Rotari, the farmer managing over four thousand hectares of land in Floreşti district, declares himself a victim of a raider attack. He says that the process of winding up the enterprise was initiated by people interested in the land they are working on.
"After the harvest, we pay all the debts we have, but the court has decided to liquidate the company in the middle of the summer, and they want us to take the land" said economic agent Nicolai Rotari.
The creditors have decided, however, to pay people the land rent.
"To accept the 2017 rent payment to the quotas in strict accordance with rent agreement, regardless of being registered."
The amount of the debts accumulated by the economic agent towards the creditors is almost 50 million lei.
