The Security and Information Service (SIS) continues its investigation into the situation of the three banks involved in the stealing of money in order to fully elucidate the circumstances in which those fraudulent transactions were performed, the Service’s vice director Vadim Vrabie said in Parliament. He noted that the SIS anticipated the risks that the financial situation and, consequently, the economic and sociopolitical situation will destabilize long ago and informed the decision-making bodies of the state about them repeatedly, IPN reports.
“The SIS ordered determining the possible effects of the involvement of the foreign factor and organizations pursuing subversive goals with the aim of triggering a crisis in the system. We repeatedly informed the decision-making bodies of the state about these dangers. The risks were anticipated long ago,” stated Vadim Vrabie.
The SIS vice director said that in concert with the Prosecutor General’s Office, they took measures to hold accountable those who intentionally made statements and did other things that lead to the revelation of information considered state secret. A criminal case was started over this case. Steps are being taken to identify the persons, especially foreigners, and the foreign companies involved in these illegal schemes.
According to Vrabie, a number of persons were investigated, but they cannot provide details about these given that the investigation is secret. They are also tracing the electronic circulation of information, but the relevant procedures require time.
