Ilan Shor risks losing over 10 million lei. The National Integrity Authority (ANI) determined that the former MP unjustifiably acquired this wealth, including during his time in office. The findings reveal that officials reported the matter ex officio as early as 2020.
The investigation covered the period from 2015 to 2022. The unjustified wealth, representing a substantial discrepancy from declared income, is linked to Shor and his close relatives.
“A substantial difference was identified between the acquired wealth, declared income, and incurred expenses of Ilan Shor and his family members, amounting to more than 4,381,084 lei. He unjustifiably acquired this wealth between August 1, 2016, and November 2, 2022.
Additionally, from July 6, 2015, to December 31, 2015, authorities identified a manifest difference of 6,449,706 lei between the property acquired and the declared income of the individual and his family members,” the ANI report stated.

Integrity inspectors sent letters to Shor requesting explanations and details about the source of the funds. However, the Moldovan Post Office returned the letters marked “unclaimed.”
ANI officials plan to take the case to court, seeking the confiscation of the unjustified assets. Along with losing over 10 million lei, Shor could face a three-year ban on holding public office, including roles as deputy or mayor. Authorities would also add his name to the state register of individuals prohibited from occupying certain positions.
It is worth noting that Ilan Shor has not been in the Republic of Moldova since 2019 when the Democratic Party lost power. Initially accused of participating in the bank fraud and convicted in absentia, he relocated to Israel. Following escalating military tensions in the region, Shor moved to the Russian Federation, where he has organized several meetings for the parties he reportedly controls from behind the scenes.
