The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine is slowing down the investigation of the criminal case about the “Moldovan Laundromat”
The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine is slowing down the investigation of the criminal case about the so-called “Moldavian Laundromat” - the withdrawal of 37 billion rubles from Russia.
Businessman Vyacheslav Platon, who was released from prison yesterday, stated this on the Moldovan TV channel TV8, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The Prosecutor General's Office of Moldova considers the case of Plato's involvement in the “theft of the century” - the withdrawal of a billion dollars from Moldovan banks - to be falsified, but in Russia he is considered a suspect in the criminal case of the Laundromat.
As Platon explained, it is impossible to initiate a similar case against him in Moldova, since he was illegally extradited from Ukraine in 2016 in connection with the “theft of the century.”
According to Moldovan legislation, a person cannot be prosecuted for a crime committed before extradition, unless there is the consent of the state that extradited him. And Ukraine, Platon is sure, will never give permission for this.
“Ukrainians have no interest in helping the Russian Federation in any form. For them, this is pure politics, the nationalists will tear them apart. Plahotniuc could not obtain this permission from Poroshenko. They believe that by giving Moldova permission to investigate this case, they will help return capital to the Russian Federation, which will finance tanks, planes, Donbass, Crimea and everything else. They cannot give this politically; at least kill them and shoot them. They will be torn apart by local nationalists,” Platon said.
