Man arrested in Chisinau-Gaz misappropriation case

A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion that he facilitated the appropriation of funds from Chisinau-Gaz. The arrest was made in front of the Chisinau Bus Terminal. The man is held at the Anticorruption Center for questioning, Info-Prim Neo reports, quoting a communique from the Center. The investigation is conducted by the Anticorruption Center and the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office. The detained person acted as an intermediary in the embezzlement scheme. During the arrest, the man offered resistance. He was not warmed, but it is known that he owns a gun. The man is suspected of appropriating funds from the company under an agreement with officials of Chisinau-Gaz. He found consumers who were ready to pay a lower sum than the one indicated in the bill and then 'settled the debts' in concert with officials of the gas supplier. Thus, in the bills of the beneficiaries there were indicated 'zero' debts for gas, but in the company's bookkeeping documents the debts remained. Steps are taken to identify all the person involved in the illegal scheme and determine the damage caused to the consumers and the company.
