The NAC Synthesis: Four people were detained with a bribe of 40,000 euros and seizures were applied on criminal assets worth about 8.4 million lei
The National Anti-corruption Centre (NAC) has presented the main actions carried out in the previous week in the field of combating and preventing corruption, as well as the recovery of criminal assets. During the reporting period, the NAC officers documented and detained four people in the act of receiving a bribe worth 40,000 euros. The detention took place in the Rîșcani sector of the capital, shortly after the money was transferred. According to the case materials, the suspects had previously claimed the aforementioned amount, claiming that they would have influence over public figures and that they could determine them to adopt a favourable decision in a criminal case. More precisely, they had promised that they could facilitate the release from criminal punishment of a person convicted in the first instance.
During the week, anti-corruption officers initiated 24 new criminal cases, and 11 files were sent to prosecutors with a proposal to refer them to court. Four people were placed in the NCA's detention centre during the reference week, and another 13 defendants are in pretrial detention in penitentiaries across the country.
The Criminal Assets Recovery Agency (CARA) seized 16 assets, worth approximately 1.2 million lei, in cases involving human trafficking, child trafficking, and the organization of illegal migration. At the same time, the courts confirmed previously applied seizures worth approximately 7.2 million lei, and 870 thousand lei were taken over for administration.
In the field of corruption prevention, the NAC submitted 12 expert reports on draft normative acts to the authors and completed 3 operational analyses. Also, 117 integrity records were cleared, and about 500 civil servants participated in anti-corruption training. The National Anti-corruption Line received 65 calls, and 1,856 materials were registered in the NAC Chancellery.
Also, the NAC director, Alexandr Pînzari, presented the institution's Activity Report for 2025 in the plenary session of the parliament. The document can be accessed on the website cna.md.
