Prosecutors continue to seize the assets of the actual beneficiaries of the Bank Fraud
The Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office managed to apply seizure on financial means in the amount of 11,313,795 lei, held by LLC "ARGUS-S" in BC VICTORIABANK SA, which were to be transferred to the accounts of a non-resident company in Turkey.
Thus, in the case of Bank Fraud, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office together with the Service for Preventing and Combating Money Laundering established that on November 9, 2020, SRL "ARGUS-S" initiated 2 transfers in the total amount of 660 166.12 USD to the non-resident company OTIV PRIME SERVICES BV, on a bank account opened in Turkey.
According to the Prosecutor General's Office, the former Democratic leader was last located in the Republic of Turkey.
"Given that the nominated companies are incorporated in the non-resident company OTIV PRIME HOLDING BV, whose effective beneficiary is the citizen Vladimir Plahotniuc, the prosecutors blocked the transactions, requesting the application of the seizure for a possible special confiscation to repair the damage caused by the crime," reads a communiqué issued by the Prosecutor's Office.
On May 18, 2020, the Prosecutor's Office issued an indictment and completed the indictment against the former PDM leader, accusing him of committing the crimes of "creating and leading a criminal organization", "scam" and "laundering money in particularly large proportions".
The criminal investigation is ongoing, all actions being taken to identify and seize the criminal assets and, respectively, to recover the damage caused by the crime.
