A 34-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy from Chisinau are under criminal investigation for promoting, during 2023, fascist and anti-Semitic messages and denying the Holocaust on a Telegram channel. According to the General Prosecutor's Office, they were summoned to the PCCOCS for questioning.

According to the information presented, the law enforcement officers established that both the 34-year-old man and the 17-year-old teenager, who comes from a family of lawyers, were active supporters of the fascist ideology that they promoted on the Internet, including in the context of the current Israeli-Palestinian armed conflict.

A criminal case was started. After the suspects were summoned to the prosecutor's office, the Telegram channel was deleted, according to the statement of the General Prosecutor's Office.
