A new court hearing on limiting the activity of the "Moldova Mare" Party set for November 13
The court hearing at the Central Court of Appeal concerning the limitation of activities of the "Moldova Mare" Party was interrupted and is scheduled to continue on November 13. The judges requested an advisory opinion from the Supreme Court of Justice to determine whether this case can be referred to the European Court of Human Rights, as the party's lawyer had previously requested. This conclusion is not subject to appeal and does not affect the ongoing examination process, so the hearings for the participants in the trial will proceed at the next session.
The hearing lasted seven hours, during which the lawyers requested testimony from approximately 280 witnesses. However, the magistrates rejected these requests.
"We presented evidence, although we were prevented from submitting testimonial evidence, meaning the hearing of witnesses, as well as expert testimony that would definitively demonstrate the bank's turnovers. We requested an expert analysis from a European country that has a treaty of cooperation in civil matters with the Republic of Moldova," stated lawyer Igor Hlopețchi.
After the court hearing concluded, representatives from the Intelligence and Security Service and the Ministry of Justice declined to provide any statements.
We remind you that the Ministry of Justice has requested a 12-month suspension of the activities of the "Moldova Mare" Party, accusing it of receiving funds from the Russian Federation through Promsvyazbank, which is associated with Ilan Shor.
Previously, the Ministry indicated that the connection between the party led by Victoria Furtună and the “Șor” group poses a threat to state security.
Until a final decision is reached, the activities of the “Moldova Mare” Party remain restricted.
