Chisinau [Moldova], August 7 (ANI/ Izvestia): Moldovan law enforcement agencies are conducting mass searches in the framework of the electoral corruption case. This was announced on August 7 by the press service of the General Inspectorate of Police of the country.

"(Law enforcement agencies)... are conducting 78 searches in several localities of the country as part of a criminal case related to illegal financing and corruption in elections," the agency wrote on its Telegram channel.

The agency clarified that the details will be made public "after the procedural actions," which are carried out, among others, by police officers from the Fulger special forces with the support of territorial divisions and prosecutors.
