A person suspected of cooperating with representatives of the Russian Federation’s intelligence services and unconstitutional security structures in the Transnistrian region has been detained. The individual is accused of gathering information about the activities of Moldova’s authorities, particularly institutions responsible for national security.
The case is being investigated by the Information and Security Service (SIS), jointly with the Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Organized Crime and Special Cases (PCCOCS).
According to investigators, the suspect allegedly had connections with representatives of Russian intelligence services, including through individuals within the unconstitutional security structures on the left bank of the Dniester River.
More specifically, the suspect is believed to have sought information held by Moldovan authorities about the activities of foreign intelligence services on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, their operations, and the measures taken by national institutions to counter them.
The criminal investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the case and identify any other individuals who may have been involved.
