By order of Plahotniuc, a Moldovan minister may be arrested
Oligarch Vlad Plahotniuc, who fled Moldova, continues to control the country’s Prosecutor General Eduard Harunzhen.
The Minister of Internal Affairs of Moldova, Andrei Nastase, stated this on air on the RTR Moldova TV channel.
“I responsibly declare that the current Prosecutor General today is doing what Plahotniuc personally tells him to do. They communicate through intermediaries. This regime left peacefully, but not completely,” Nastase said.
He said that on June 17 he asked the Prosecutor General to petition parliament to lift parliamentary immunity from Vlad Plahotniuc and Ilan Shor, a businessman involved in the theft of a billion euros from Moldovan banks. However, Harunzhen did not do this.
At the same time, the minister fears that the prosecutor general may begin to prosecute him.
“He spits in the face of this society. In two days I will not have parliamentary immunity, and Mr. Khorunzhin may have a desire to arrest me,” Nastase said.
He called on the Prosecutor General to voluntarily resign, otherwise “it will be bad about those 100 thousand and about those cars.” Nastase refused to explain what this means.
