NAC and prosecutors conduct searches in Chisinau and Straseni in a case of abuse of office. The target is the Joint Stock Company "Edilitate"

Officers of the National Anti-corruption Centre (NAC), together with prosecutors from the Chisinau City Prosecutor's Office, are conducting searches today in the capital and Straseni district, as part of a criminal case initiated on the fact of committing the crime of abuse of office.

The investigations target former decision-makers of the Joint Stock Company "Edilitate", who, in the period 2024–2025, allegedly implemented a premeditated criminal plan, in complicity with other persons who are being identified. The purpose of the illegal actions was to defraud the company's assets and take control of it by abusively concluding a civil partnership contract with a legal entity also indirectly managed by them.

As a result of these actions, important assets of the company were illegally transferred to the respective legal entity, including the quarry for extracting the raw limestone deposit in Ghidighici, in a total value of over 4.5 million lei. From the exploitation of the limestone deposit alone, the estimated damage caused to SA "Edilitate", from June 2024 to present, is approximately 1.6 million lei.

The criminal investigation actions are underway under the procedural leadership of the Chisinau City Prosecutor's Office, in order to establish all the persons involved and hold them criminally liable.

According to the law, any person shall be presumed innocent until a final and irrevocable court decision is rendered.

The investigations in this case continue.
