Former Prime Minister Vlad Filat risks another ten years of jail. Former PLDM leader is targeted in a new money laundering file, already sent to court.

In 2013, Filat would have tried to hide certain payments with money from corruption.

According to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, he transferred to the accounts of a US PR company the equivalent of 13 million lei, money stolen from Banca de Economii. The survey states that an intermediary was used to delete traces of transfers. US authorities have confirmed payment to the company that provided liberal-democrats with promotional services, prosecutors argue. They also state that they have evidence that Filat obtained money from the Savings Bank through influence trafficking.

On the other side, Filat's lawyer , Victor Munteanu, broadcast a press release stating that these transfers were already subject to examination in the first criminal case.

Vlad Filat was detained in October 2015. He is sentenced to nine years of jail after being found guilty for passive corruption and influence lobbyism.
