Can Moldova ever win its grueling fight against corruption?\u201d<\/a>,<\/u> published by the renowned international platform Global Voices, where r\u00e9sum\u00e9 of <\/b>the main problems faced in all the regions of the world appear in over 30 languages.<\/p>\nPoliticians from this eastern European state have come and gone, defeating and replacing each other over the past 30 years of independence, but one thing remains static: their relentless ability to draw Moldova into international corruption scandals.<\/p>\n
To illustrate the destructive influence of corruption on the life of ordinary people, the r\u00e9sum\u00e9 reproduces the opinions of experts and the story of a farmer from northern Moldova.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am the victim of fraud by high-ranking corrupt officials who have gone unpunished,\u201d complains Stanislav Ivani\u021ba, a farmer from the village of Corbu in the\u00a0Dondu\u0219eni District, in the far north of Moldova.\u00a0This 60-year-old veteran of the conflict in nearby breakaway Transnistria now faces a battle with the Moldovan authorities: Stanislav is fighting against repayment of a loan whose sum has risen by a third following corruption scandals linked to the theft of a billion dollars from one of Europe\u2019s poorest countries. The bank isn\u2019t giving up, but neither is he.<\/p>\n
To pay off the debt, Ivani\u021ba\u2019s family had to sell all eight hectares of their land, a tractor, and a farm building used to house livestock. But it wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the unavoidable punishment for economic crimes and corruption at high level, Global Voices presents a press officer\u2019s comment concerning the common cause made by other states with Moldova to identify persons accused of economic crimes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs of today there has been no official answer from Interpol’s central bureau in Lyon concerning an international search warrant for Vladimir Plahotniuc,\u201d said Angela\u00a0Starinschi, press officer of Moldova’s National Anticorruption Centre, in comments to Global Voices on January 28. \u201cThe fight against corruption is an ongoing process, taking into account the fact that there is a high tolerance towards corruption in society.<\/p>\n
