Moldovan prosecutors have busted a criminal gang committing tax evasion of millions of lei.

It consisted of 10 people, who employed companies in their scam.

One member of the gang was a lawyer, who managed firms dealing with cereals.

Employees from the companies involved admitted the partial non-existence of the economic events mirrored in their accountancy documents, as the damage is assessed at almost nine million lei.

If found guilty, the suspects face jail sentences of up to six years.
