A woman said a former deputy commissioner of Chisinau’s Rascani district ordered her murder in order not to repay a debt of €30,000 to her.

In a news conference at IPN, Clavdia Yatsko said that after her husband died in 2006, she sold her house in Balti and moved to Chisinau, where she started to work as consultant in the Government’s Law Division. In that period, the woman lent €30,000 that she earned from selling the house to the police officer. The man was to pay the money back in several months, but postponed repaying it. In 2007, Clavdia Yatsko was summoned to the Ministry of the Interior, where there were other persons who lent money to the policeman. The man was then suspended from the post of deputy commissioner of Rascani district.

The woman said that in half a year she found out that the police officer paid a killer to murder her. She has sought justice for six years. The Rascani District Court ordered starting a criminal case, but the Chisinau Prosecutor’s Office refuses to, arguing there are no proofs.

Clavdia Yatsko voiced hope that the competent bodies will hold an inquiry and will start the criminal case over murder attempt and she may get her money back. The woman lives alone as her children are abroad. Owing to the permanent stress, her state of health is worsening.

In the same news conference, the head of the National Anticorruption Council AO “Moldova Mea” Fiodor Ghelici said they cannot understand why the Prosecutor’s Office refuses to open a criminal case. The only explanation is that the police officer has relations in this institution.
