A man from the Chisinau municipality was detained, a short time ago, by the NAC officers and anti-corruption prosecutors in a case of influence peddling. The case was initiated following the whistleblowing of a woman who communicated that she had been dispossessed of thousands of euros in exchange for obtaining the title to a piece of land in the capital.
In the complaint, the woman admitted that she had given the suspect 4,700 euros, 40,000 lei and assets worth 60,000 lei, and that he had promised her that he would have influence over some officials from the Municipal City Hall Chisinau and Durlești, as well as from the Cadastre Department of the Public Services Agency, whom they could induce to legalize a piece of land in the interest of the whistleblower.
Today, following special investigative measures and criminal prosecution actions, the suspect was detained while receiving 200 euros. He was escorted to the NAC and detained for 72 hours for influence peddling. Following the searches, the NAC officers seized his mobile phone.
The Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office is conducting the criminal investigation.
