Allegedly promised a man to escape a criminal liability for a bribe of 1500 euros and was detained by the NAC for influence peddling
26.07.2022 16 ViewsA man from the capital was detained by the NAC officers and anti-corruption prosecution officers, being suspected of influence peddling. He allegedly claimed and received a 1500-euro bribe to cover up a criminal case.
According to the materials of the case, the suspect would have promised the whistleblower to help escape the criminal liability for advanced drink driving, claiming that he can influence the investigators from the Ialoveni Police Inspectorate and prosecutors. The citizen was interested that the case was not transmitted to the court. For his services, the man allegedly received from the whistleblower 1500 euros, and as the problems were not solved, he asked the money to be returned, otherwise he would denounce to men of law.
In this case, the criminal investigation was launched for influence peddling, and following the criminal investigation actions, the man was detained for 72 hours and placed in the NAC Detention Center.
We remind, that every person is innocent until the final and irrevocable decision of the court is pronounced. The Anticorruption Prosecution Office is conducting the criminal investigation.
