According to the source cited by Reuters, Plahotnuk is expected to leave Greece on the morning of September 25th. A document came to the detriment of Reuters that the ministry approved his return to Moldova at the end of last week after a delay that, according to a court source, was due to explanations he had to provide for a case pending against him.
Plahotnuk is the main suspect in relation to the “disappearance” of a billion dollars from the country’s banks in 2014 – an amount that was then equivalent to 12% of Moldovan GDP.
Before leaving Moldova in 2019, he was the leader of the Democratic Party, part of the ruling coalition in 2016-2019 and was Vice President of Parliament.
In 2023, the EU imposed penalties on Plahotnuk and six others for actions that, he said, destabilized and undermined the territorial integrity of Moldova and Ukraine.
According to the Greek Police, the 59 -year -old Plahotnuk has gone through 22 countries since 2023. He said he owned 16 passports, including Romania, Mexico and Russia.
Russia, which says it wants to publish Plahotnuk there to deal with drug -related accusations, denies that he has intervened in Moldovan affairs.
