On July 4<\/span>, two days after the article \u201cWhom Does <\/span>Chi\u015fin\u0103u<\/span> Belong To?\u201d in Ziarul de Gard<\/span>\u0103, the owner of the hotel, Alexandru Mahnatchin, attacked the manager of the restaurant, Iulia Culeasov, in front of several witnesses. She is one of the 6,500 shareholders of the joint stock company Hotel <\/span>Chi\u015fin\u0103u<\/span> who have not received any dividends from the hotel’s owners for the last few years of their investments. According to witnesses, Mohnatchin attacked Culeasov as he suspected she had provided Ziarul de Gard<\/span>\u0103 information about this problem.<\/span><\/em><\/address>\n

The manager was beaten<\/strong>\"\"<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

\u201cMohnatchin entered the restaurant, driving us away and saying he was the boss. The manager of the restaurant, Iulia Culeasov, tried to stop him, but he crushed her with both hands and punch her in the breast. A couple celebrating their son\u2019s birthday got scared and called for help,\u201d Melania Ostrovscaia, the head-waitress of the restaurant recalled.<\/p>\n<\/dt>\n

\n

As a result of medico-legal expertise, the doctor V. Frumusachi issued some legal acts which confirmed the fact Culeasov had been maltreated.<\/p>\n<\/dt>\n

<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

The same day the hotel’s owners cut the supply of electricity and water to the restaurant, when a party of 100 guests were due to be arriving for a function. Three fridges full of fish, caviar and sausages were ruined, resulting in the party being cancelled and Culeasov left with a large amount of inedible food.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

On July 7<\/span> the shareholders of the joined stock company gathered in the restaurant in order to protest against the abusive actions of the hotel\u2019s administration. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

Voronin \u2013 a fright for shareholders<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Until now the shareholders believed that the owner of the hotel was Oleg Voronin, the president’s son, and some people who attended meetings would say that they were protected by the authorities and that nobody could object to their actions. Some shareholders were also warned that they could face problems with the president, meaning they kept silent. The hotel has been sold many times, each time by a person protected by the state who has never shared the profits with the other shareholders.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

\u201cI have attended each of the shareholders\u2019 meetings. Each time I thought I would get the dividends which belonged to me. I got nothing. They didn\u2019t even give me the money for the trip, and I came from Comrat. There are many shareholders like me. They are retired, disabled people from all over country. They come to <\/span>Chi\u015fin\u0103u<\/span> to receive their dividends, and they go back home with nothing,\u201d Elena Mocanu, a shareholder of the joint stock company Hotel <\/span>Chi\u015fin\u0103u<\/span>, complained. She is retired now, having formerly worked at the hotel for 30 years as a chambermaid.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

\u201cEven if the shareholders insist to be paid, Mohnatchin refuses. He said that if we don\u2019t like something we can sell the shares. The price which he offers is very low \u2013 two lei per share. I have been working all my life for 3,000 lei! He has us wrapped around his little finger!<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n
\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

\u201cDuring the 43 years I’ve worked at the Hotel <\/span>Chi\u015fin\u0103u<\/span>, I have seen many directors, but I have never seen such a disaster as today,\u201d Ostrovscaia said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

Life Contract<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI have reached the day when, as the wife of a colonel, I am humiliated by a bandit,\u201d the owner of the restaurant said of Mohnatchin. Culeasov believes that the director also got angry because she had refused to pay 7,000 euros each month for the rent of the restaurant, while Mohnatchin pays only 15,000 lei per month to LLC First Hotel, the official owner of the hotel, for the rent of the whole building. The manager of the restaurant referred to the sum of 5,000 lei per month, a figure which is stipulated in the contract of the building nr. 162 from 2002; the contract was signed for a term of 99 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Also on Monday during the meeting, the shareholders were told that Voronin had nothing to do with the hotel. It was a trick, a fright. Yet, who is the real owner and who should be punished for the violations committed in the last 10 years since 60% of the hotel was privatised?<\/p>\n<\/dt>\n

<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

\u201cWe want to know who the real owner is to decide our separation from this space of the hotel. How long can this building be sold without our agreement?\u201d Culeasov said on behalf of all of the shareholders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

Vulnerable director<\/h3>\n

We couldn\u2019t find out what the opinion of the director was and if the shareholders\u2019 claims are true. On Monday Mohnatchin refused to meet journalists. On Tuesday, at 11a.m., he had agreed to give a statement to the press, yet, as on Wednesday, the director was too busy, according to his guard.<\/p>\n
