04.09.2020 711 ViewsPersons who had to make additional payments for burial places at the cemetery Sfântul Lazăr in Chişinău are urged to denounce the facts to criminal investigation body of the National Anticorruption Center. The appeal comes in the context of the implementation of the illegal scheme of extorting money from citizens, which targets the administration of the cemetery, thus, to identify all the episodes in which the criminal group is involved.

In the complaint there must be indicated the circumstances in which the case took place, the period, the persons who extorted bribes and contact number of the petitioner.
We remind that yesterday the head of Sfântul Lazăr cemetery, his deputy and a foreman were arrested for 30 days and placed in Penitentiary 13. Other 3 persons involved are investigated at large, after signing the guilty plea and cooperation with investigation. The accused are investigated for passive and active corruption, influence peddling and fraud within 130 of criminal cases. They are suspected of collecting enormous amounts of money from the relatives of the deceased to provide them with a burial place. If found guilty, the members of the group risk up to 10 years of prison or criminal fines.
However, we precise that every person is presumed to be innocent until the final and irrevocable decision of the court is pronounced.
