The action, which was carried out by the National Anticorruption Center, jointly with the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office and the National Investigation Inspectorate in Comrat, took place within the criminal case, based on facts of illegal financing of a political formation and the corruption of voters.

We have obtained evidence relevant to the case which is currently under review.
As part of the special investigative measures, the reasonable suspicion emerged that in the electoral lists there were people who, at the time of the election, would have been outside our country, so they could not physically participate in the elections, as well as deceased people.
To verify this information, it was necessary to pick up the voter lists.
Today, the criminal investigation officer, under the leadership of the case prosecutor, requested the representative of the Central Electoral Commission of the ATU Găgăuzia to appear at the NAC headquarters for the procedure of unsealing the boxes with the voter lists, picked up yesterday. It is a procedural action to be conducted in the presence of the CEC representative's lawyer and which is filmed, with the recording attached to the file.
The CEC representative and his lawyer have been contacted for today, but have been informed that they are available to attend the hearing on Friday, May 19.
We specify that, after unsealing the boxes with the electoral lists, the criminal prosecution officer will make copies of them and ensure the transmission of the original lists to the Comrat Court.
