The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) approved Plahotniuc&#8217;s whereabouts, yet, the data should not have been public. Meanwhile, the General Prosecutor&#8217;s Office (PG) requested the Turkish authorities to deport the former politician. The opposition believes that Moldovan President Igor Dodon, who previously accused the American authorities of protecting Plahotniuc, could now &#8220;bring him back in the country.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, the Our Party\u2019s leader and presidential candidate Renato Usatii announced that Plahotniuc &#8220;fled&#8221; the US and was in Istanbul, where he &#8220;meets with Moldovan politicians and Dodon\u2019s mediators to influence Moldovan political processes,\u201d though with no proof of evidence. ZdG followed the US internal security bodies\u2019 open data, displaying the history of citizens&#8217; transitions. The oligarch Plahotniuc fled Miami on August 28, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General Prosecutor&#8217;s Office requests that Turkey extradites Plahotniuc<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, the Prosecutor General reported that Plahotniuc has been on Turkish territory since September 10, according to official notification. Thus, the General Prosecutor Alexandr Stoianoglo signed the Turkish authorities\u2019 request to extradite the former PD leader to Moldova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>Opposition: &#8220;Dodon can bring him to Moldova.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PAS Deputy Sergiu Litvinenco claims that Moldova\u2019s President Igor Dodon could quickly bring Vlad Plahotniuc home, as the President is in good relations with Turkey\u2019s leader Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moldova\u2019s Parliament chairman Mihai Pop\u0219oi also noticed in a social media post that Dodon had not mentioned anything about the fugitive Plahotniuc since the PG declared extradition notice to the Turkish Authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does Plahotniuc&#8217;s lawyer say about his fugitive client<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawyer of the former PDM leader Lucian Rogac commented that in the current situation, Vlad Plahotniuc is surprised that PG is requesting his extradition from the Turkish authorities. He is also relaxed. Moreover, the lawyer confirmed he is still in contact with his client.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plahotniuc&#8217;s lawyer did not affirm that the former PDM\u2019s leader is in Turkey, adding that<em> &#8220;Plahotniuc is not a politician. He\u2019s minding his business and must not report to anyone about his location, he is free to go anywhere, except Moldova.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;We had discussed, I reported to him the media information. We will wait for the request\u2019s result sent by the Moldovan authorities to Turkey, whether it is possible to execute this request,\u201d <\/em>mentioned Plahotniuc\u2019s lawyer on a TV Show.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawyer also said that Plahotniuc is &#8220;relaxed&#8221; because &#8220;justice is fair outside Moldova,\u201d but if necessary, he will collaborate with the relevant authorities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Moldova\u2019s Ministry of Internal Affairs: &#8220;Information leaks could seriously affect extradition procedures.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On September 30, the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed that the institution knew long ago about Vlad Plahotniuc\u2019s leave from the USA and crossed the border with Turkey and Romania. The Ministry claims that \u201cto hinder identification actions and detention, these data needed not to be displayed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;We were informed by the official authorities that he crossed Turkey between September 7-10, 2020. The Interpol office in Chisinau sent another official request, and now we are waiting for a reply from Turkey to know if Vlad Plahotniuc has not left the country. The politicians\u2019 statements and the public mediatization have jeopardized the Moldovan law enforcement agencies\u2019 actions, and this complicates the search process. We check the information, and when it is clear, we will display more details. Thus, the Moldovan authorities keep in touch with their external partners and make every effort to identify Plahotniuc\u2019s whereabouts and to extradite him,&#8221; states the Ministry\u2019s press release.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, some sources, including the Socialists Party\u2019s deputy Bogdan \u021a\u00eerdea said that Plahotniuc was no longer in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vladimir Plahotniuc was put on the wanted list, in absentia, after prosecutors <a href=\"https:\/\/zdg.md\/en\/?p=3621\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/zdg.md\/en\/?p=3621\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">charged him on three counts<\/a>: set up and leading a criminal organization, scamming, and <a href=\"https:\/\/zdg.md\/en\/?p=4421\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/zdg.md\/en\/?p=4421\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">money laundering<\/a>, committed in unusually large proportions. In June 2020, Prosecutor General asked the US authorities to extradite Plahotniuc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oligarch Plahotniuc fled Moldova in June 2019, after his party, PDM ceded the power to the governing coalition formed by the Bloc ACUM and PSRM, that later on collapsed in November 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, the Our Party\u2019s leader and presidential candidate Renato Usatii announced that Plahotniuc &#8220;fled&#8221; the US and was in Istanbul, where he &#8220;meets with Moldovan politicians and Dodon\u2019s mediators to influence Moldovan political processes,\u201d though with no proof of evidence.
