Moldova spy chief: Russia paid fugitive tycoon $55.5 mn to overthrow government
Speaking at a news conference, Moldova’s intelligence chief Alexandru Musteață said Russia had tried to use a criminal group led by fugitive oligarch Ilan Shor to influence the outcome of local elections in Moldova.
He claimed the organizers of this effort are affiliated with structures in Russia responsible for political technologies and connected to the administration of President Vladimir Putin and Russian special services.
According to Musteață, Shor is using several political parties, including the Șansă (Chance) party, to destabilize Moldova.
