This morning, June 4, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office conducted 33 searches as part of a joint investigation between the Republic of Moldova and France with the assistance of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

An alleged corruption scheme is being investigated, in which public figures from the Republic of Moldova and other countries received bribes for preventing Interpol from publishing “red notices” against internationally wanted criminals from different countries, tv8.md reports.

Veronica Dragalin reported that 4 people were detained for 72 hours in this case. Digital devices and related documents were seized.

The investigation continues to establish all the details of the case.
