PM says Moldova's authorities make sure that new episode of bank fraud can no longer take place

Chisinau, 8 May /MOLDPRES/ - The Moldovan authorities have assured, through the legislation adopted, that a new episode concerning the bank fraud can no longer take place. Prime Minister Pavel Filip has made statements to this effect in an interview given exclusively to MOLDPRES.

According to the official, the foreign investments in the banking sector show its safety. “We have a full assessment of what has happened; it was carried out by a reputed international firm. We have already published the most important aspects of the second Kroll report; the latter was submitted in its full form to prosecutors, in order to call to account the guilty persons. Just as things look like, we will need the cooperation of European partners to recover the money stolen. The progress can be quicker and the government has every willingness to back the work of prosecutors administratively and through legislative interventions,” Filip said.

The prime minister stressed that, in the last two years, significant results had been recorded in the anticorruption fight. “At the same time, the joint declaration after the meeting of the Association Council highlights such aspects as the law against the money laundering and a more comprehensive reform of the justice zone institutions. We will provide administrative and financial support, so that the new institutions are fully operational; this is an aspect we seriously take into account at the government and it represents one of the priorities. As for the electoral law, I unveiled the measures taken by the government and parliament, as well as the obvious political dimension which exists in such decisions. Most recommendations of the Venice Commission have been implemented; the legislative framework is a fair and inclusive one and I hope that the parties focus on the presentation of political projects worthy of the citizens of this country,” Pavel Filip added.
