The seizure of over 1 billion lei applied to the assets of Vladimir Plahotniuc was maintained for the recovery of the damage caused to the state. Their valuation will only be possible after a final court decision.
The execution will be carried out by all means provided by law, including the sale of seized goods, according to newsmaker.md. The clarification was made by the Chief Prosecutor of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, Marcel Dumbravan.
“In order to proceed with the execution of the civil action, we are to have a definitive decision in this regard, at least from the Court of Appeal, which, in case it will maintain the civil action in the amount collected, will proceed to its collection by all possible means provided by the Code of Criminal Procedure, including through the realization of these goods that are under seizure. There are certain procedures provided by law, including those related to other competent bodies in this regard,” declared the prosecutor.
Regarding the sentence pronounced on April 22 in the case of Plahotniuc in the “Bank Fraud” case, Dumbravan described it as “average”. At the same time, he said it is premature at this moment to communicate whether the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office will contest it, given the fact that the sentence has more than 500 pages and is to be analyzed.
