Deputies of the Dignity and Truth Party claim that they requested to remove the Shor Party from the register of political parties in Moldova. The deputies say they will file a complaint to the Constitutional Court requesting that the Shor Party should be declared unconstitutional.

“Previously, I requested to remove the Shor Party from the register. I demanded the removal of the Party because the majority of their members are investigated in the billion-dollar bank fraud and figure in the investigative reports,” said the deputy Stela Macari.

In this context, the deputy Dinu Plîngău announced that the deputies of the Dignity and Truth Party will submit a notification to the Constitutional Court.

“We submit a complaint to the Constitutional Court regarding the declaration of the Shor Party as an unconstitutional party. We have gathered evidence to invoke grounds of unconstitutionality. It is a party that has repeatedly violated the law. There are arguments that the Shor Party is a tool in the hands of a criminal group,” Plîngău declared.

Five deputies of the Shor Party lost their parliamentary immunity at the request of the prosecutor general for being investigated in the billion-dollar bank fraud. These are the deputies Reghina Apostolova, Marina Tauber, Petru Jardan, Denis Ulanov, and their party leader, Ilan Shor. In 2017, Ilan Shor was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison in the billion-dollar bank fraud case. In 2019, the Cahul Court of Appeal issued an arrest warrant on Ilan Shor announcing him in search.
