Veaceslav Platon was summoned by the anticorruption prosecutors for November 2 for being indicted for a raider attack on Moldova-Agroindbank with money from the Russian Laundromat, IPN reports.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the investigations focus on the actions taken by particular persons for gaining control over Moldova-Agroindbank in 2011-2015 and managing the bank so as to satisfy the interests of an organized criminal group, including by considerable swindle and money laundering.
Prosecutors determined that the culprits, using false documents and money coming from the Russian Laundromat, organized the registration of transactions in the absence of the consent of legal owners or their successors. This enabled them to get a holding of over 28,000 shares in Moldova-Agroindbank, to the total value of 28 million lei.
Later, in order to hide the wrongdoing, the perpetrators sold the stolen shares to nonresident companies. Veaceslav Platon was the real beneficiary of these companies.
In 2011-2015, the culprits obtained 43.11% of the shares in Moldova-Agroindbank owned by a series of mostly nonresident companies. This enabled Veaceslav Platon to control the bank for a period.
Veaceslav Platon left Moldova this July. He was seen in London from where he allegedly took a plane to Prague.
