“Currently, NAC is reviewing the reports received from the General Police Inspectorate (IGP) and will make decisions based on them. It is important to note that individuals who committed contraventions are exempt from liability if they self-report and/or actively contribute to uncovering or preventing the electoral corruption act,” NAC representatives state.
According to the Police, approximately 150,000 citizens have participated in the illegal financing of Shor’s parties in recent months. Additionally, President Maia Sandu indicated that around 300,000 votes were allegedly fraudulently cast during the first round of the presidential elections and the European integration referendum.
