An office head from Chisinau-Gaz, detained by NAC for a bribe of 5000 euros. The complaint was submitted to the National Anticorruption Hotline

The officers of the National Anticorruption Center and the anti-corruption prosecutors arrested, today, red-handed, an office head of S.R.L. "Chisinau-Gaz", suspected of bribery. He allegedly demanded and received 5,000 euros from a man from the Chisinau municipality in order not to disconnect him from the gas network.

According to the whistleblowing, the company representative allegedly promised the owner of a building in the Buiucani sector of the capital that he would not disconnect him from the point of consumption, even if he was previously disconnected for the accumulation of debts, but also for allegedly illegal connection to the network.

Today, the money was transferred under the control of the NAC and the prosecutors. As a result of the body search, cash in the amount of 5,000 euros was found and seized from the suspect.

The Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office is conducting the criminal investigation.

The person accused of committing a crime is presumed innocent as long as his guilt is not proven by a court decision of final conviction.
