US Treasury imposed sanctions against the oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc

The US Treasury has imposed sanctions against the oligarch and former leader of the Democratic Party of Moldova Vladimir Plahotniuc for corruption, said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

“The corrupt actions of Vladimir Plahotniuc undermined the rule of law and seriously undermined the independence of the democratic institutions of Moldova. Today I publicly put it on the sanctions list. The United States supports Moldova in its fight against corruption”, – he wrote on Twitter.

Plahotniuc is one of the richest businessmen of Moldova. In November 2017, the Basmanny Court of Moscow put the businessman on the international wanted list in the case of an attempted murder.
