A lawyer was detained, a short time ago, by officers of the National Anticorruption Center and AP prosecutors in a case in which he is suspected of influence peddling. He allegedly claimed and received 9,200 euros from a citizen in exchange for influencing a decision in the case in which his client was accused of forgery in public documents and fraud.
According to the whistleblower, the lawyer informed him that he would have influence over the police officers and prosecutors of the Chisinau Municipal Prosecutor's Office, Râșcani Office, and that he could induce them to adopt a favorable solution regarding the facts investigated regarding the whistleblower regarding the falsification of official documents and illegal acquisition of a means of transport.
