Arina Spataru, leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), has responded after the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office announced that the case against Ilan Shor over the financing of the ALDE party with more than $452,000 had been sent to court.
Spataru reiterated that she cooperated with law enforcement authorities as an undercover agent in 2023 to help document the activities of the Shor group.
According to her statement, on November 9, during the EU Enlargement Conference, she publicly asked the head of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office when the case would be brought to court.
The ALDE leader argues that presenting incomplete information could create a misleading impression of her role in the investigation. She has called on media outlets to clarify that she cooperated with the authorities and to distinguish between individuals sent to trial and those who helped investigators document the alleged offences.
