Oleg Voronin is not a suspect in money laundering case

Businessman Oleg Voronin, the son of the former President Vladimir Voronin, is not investigated for money laundering and fiscal evasion. A legal case was opened over the two offenses, but no private individual or legal entity has been so far declared as suspect or charged, Bogdan Zumbreanu, deputy head of the Prosecution Division of the Center for Combating Corruption and Economic Crime, told a news conference on February 25. “The inquiry will initially focus on a sum of 66 million lei,” Zumbreanu said, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The investigation will be conducted by a group of prosecution officers and prosecutors. Marcel Tumuruc, deputy prosecutor at the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office, said they have formulated several versions over this case and will question a number of foreign economic and legal entities. On February 22, Oleg Voronin went to the Anticorruption Center to explain from what sources he replenished the bank card that he used during the last two years abroad to pay for goods and services. He spent over 66 million lei, but his income statement indicates a much lower amount.
