Just days before the September 28 parliamentary elections, the National Anticorruption Center (CNA) and Balti prosecutors conducted more than 30 searches in an illegal party financing case, money laundering, and aggravated electoral corruption.
Investigators are targeting a group of individuals affiliated with a political party—members, supporters, and decision-makers—suspected of executing a complex criminal plan to illegally influence the electoral process.
According to the CNA, the funds originated in the Russian Federation and passed through cryptocurrency accounts managed by a criminal group. The suspects converted the money into cash using illegal crypto exchange services and distributed it through couriers in a non-transparent manner.
