The National Anticorruption Center (NAC) and the Prosecutor’s Office of Chișinău Municipality have announced the execution of multiple searches in the capital, as part of a major criminal case involving suspicions of illegal financing of political parties under aggravated circumstances. According to preliminary data, the investigation targets the actions of a group of individuals suspected of being involved in a coordinated criminal scheme in the lead-up to the parliamentary elections scheduled for September 28, 2025. Among those under scrutiny are decision-makers affiliated with political formations, as well as members and supporters who allegedly contributed to the unlawful channeling of funds to political parties, TRIBUNA reports.
