A former employee of the Public Service Agency (PSA) in Glodeni, was detained by the officers and anticorruption prosecutors, this morning, being suspected of the influence peddling.

The case has drawn the attention of the GTD Nord of the NAC, after the man was denounced for allegedly claiming and receiving a 4000-lei bribe to issue a cadastral plan that would allow to legalize two constructions, built without the authorization during 2017-2020, as a warehouse for agricultural products. The man allegedly claimed that he could influence the officials from the Glodeni Cadastral Office of the PSA.

A criminal investigation was initiated in this case for influence peddling. The man became a suspect and was detained for 72 hours, and placed in the Detention Center of the Balti Police Inspectorate.
