The British Ambassador to Chisinau, Steven Fisher, welcomes the decision of the authorities of the Republic of Moldova to transpose into the national legislation, through the Magnitsky Law project, the sanctions recently imposed by London regarding the oligarchs Vladimir Plahotniuc and Ilan Șor. In an interview from TV8, Steven Fisher emphasized that the way in which sanctions are applied at the national level must be decided by Chisinau.
