Several searches are carried out by the NAC officers in a case of passive corruption and bribery, in which a president of the Pomiculture Association from Chisinau and a former specialist of the Land Department of the Chisinau City Hall are being investigated. The two suspects allegedly set up a scheme to illegally transfer ownership of the lands, located in the municipality of Chisinau.
According to the materials of the case, the persons interested in obtaining ownership of a piece of land from the management of Pomiculture Association, located on the territory of Chişinău municipality, allegedly appealed to the persons in its management. After the illegal transfer of ownership of the land was organized against monetary means ranging between 5000-7000 euros. In order to carry out the criminal scheme, the suspects allegedly identified unprivatized and unused lands, then, based on a fictitious report, they would have been assigned for use by interposed persons. Later, the privatization and alienation of the lots would be organized by civil servants from the Chisinau City Hall.
Today, the NAC officers carried out 35 searches on 30 people, targeted in the organization of the illegal takeover scheme of the municipality's lands. As a result of the criminal investigation, mobile phones, information carriers and draft documents were seized. Both individuals are currently being investigated at large. At the same time, the roles of all participants in the scheme are to be established.
