A group of dwellers of the apartment building situated at 113/1 Calea Orheiului St, which was erected by the company “Glorinal”, said that during seven years already, the former administration of the company has made empty promises to them. They fully paid the price of apartments, but then found out that their apartments were put up as collateral for a bank loan raised by “Glorinal”. The investors ask the responsible bodies to investigate this case and to do them justice.
In a news conference at IPN, Vitalie Jacota, one of the investors, said that recently, the former director of the building company “Glorinal” Vasile Chirică rather boasted than spoke about the real situation and the existing solutions. “He boasted of the quality of works and said that no one had objections. But this is not true. The terracotta put on our stair is the cheapest. I would like to ask: Mister Chirică, why didn’t you speak about your superb solution – that we, the dwellers should invest another €100 per square meter for you to clear the debts to the bank, the lawyers and we become investors again? Why don’t you tell about this?” asked Vitalie Jacota. According to him, Vasile Chirică sold them air as the investors, even if they paid all the money for apartments, do not have ownership rights over them.
Viorica Kostashko, who also invested in an apartment in the building located at 113/1 Calea Orheiului St, said that in 2012, she chose “Glorinal” because this company then had an irreproachable reputation. Before concluding the transaction, she consulted jurists so as to protect her investment as the phenomenon of double sale was widespread. Later, the documents were signed and she paid all the money. Two months later, decision makers of the company put up her and other apartments as collateral for a bank loan taken out by the company. Now the dwellers remained face to face with the bank and have to solve the problems. “We make a request to the responsible bodies – to do us justice and to investigate the case till the end. If Mister Chirică has what to say in his defense, he should do it in court and should not mislead public opinion that he is very good,” stated the investor.
Eugeniu Jitariuc said he is among the victims of the swindlers from Glorinal. “We paid for apartments, but don’t own these. We live in rented accommodations and pay large rental,” he stated, noting that Vasile Chirică gave the keys to the dwellers, but they lived there without being connected to gas, elevator. “He says nice stories about the erected constructions, but does not say how much he stole,” stated Eugeniu Jitariuc.
According to dweller Sergey Turtureanu, the bank also committed violations. The law enforcement bodies should investigate the situation to establish how already sold apartments registered with the Cadastral Office could have been accepted as security for the bank loan. “We demand that the lending agreement should be annulled or we will mount protests at the bank and at the block situated on Calea Orheiului St and on main streets, if no measures are taken,” stated Sergey Turtureanu.
