COMPLETE INACTION 5 YEARS AFTER THE BANK FRAUD IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

European External Action Service Director for Russia, the Eastern Partnership, Central Asia and the OSCE Luc Devigne, regarded as unacceptable the fact that Moldovan authorities took no decisive actions for investigating the one-billion-dollar bank fraud over 5 years since the scheme was detected.<\/p>\n

At the Thursday\u2019s press conference after the sitting of the Association Committee in Chisinau, he said that it is abnormal that even after one of the leading detective agencies Kroll has published details of its investigation and these are in free access, the country leadership has issued no decisions in this regard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will never believe it is impossible to be done legally. If they cannot punish those guilty for such a large-scale theft, which almost has no equal anywhere in the world and led to the loss of 15% of country GDP \u2013 the problem is in the country itself. However, if this can be done legally (yet has not been done) \u2013 the problem is in the justice system. In any case, this is a prerogative, a responsibility of the authorities to ensure a functional judiciary in the country\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Devigne stressed it may not be claimed that the judiciary is working, if the bank fraud is not investigated.<\/p>\n

In this connection, is becomes increasingly difficult for European institutions and members of the EU Parliament to explain the assistance to the country which fails to do everything possible to return what was stolen from it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the question will persist \u2013 over the last 10 years, the EU has provided to Moldova 1 billion euros in the form of grants, and now a billion was stolen. However, it is about one thing now \u2013 the budget. The Moldovan authorities know about this problem and should act to resolve it. If not \u2013 the system should be improved\u201d, Devigne said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
