The NAC officers detained today an employee of the Forest Administration from Soroca, in a case of influence peddling. He allegedly promised to favor a candidate in obtaining a driver's license by influencing the members of the examination board.

In fact, the suspect allegedly claimed and received 500 euros from a man in exchange for determining some employees of the Transport Registration and Driver Qualification Section in the municipality of Soroca to favor the successful passing of the practical test by the candidate, and later to be issued with a driver's license for category "B".

Today, the NAC officers and prosecutors from the Balti Municipal Prosecution Office searched the suspect's car and home, and as a result of the criminal investigation, he was detained for 72 hours.

The case is further investigated, under the procedural direction of the prosecutors, to establish the entire circle of suspects.

We remind that any person is presumed to be innocent until a final and irrevocable court decision is rendered.
