Plahotniuc voted on the death of his companion
Oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc, who fled from Moldova, expressed condolences over the death of his brother-in-law (sister’s husband), businessman Iurie Lunkasu.
“True friends can be counted on one hand; they are the family we choose ourselves. Deep sorrow and emptiness that nothing can fill. Rest in peace, my dear friend,” Plahotniuc wrote on his Facebook page.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, Yuri Lunkashu shot himself on the evening of August 17.
He asked the driver to stop the car in a field and wrote a note with the following content: “I bought the white house in 2017, I was an investor.”
Then he got out of the car and shot himself in the head with Astra pistol No. 85034, 6.35 caliber.
Despite the testimony of the businessman’s driver, a criminal case into the death was opened under the article “premeditated murder.”
This was stated by the Minister of Internal Affairs Andrei Năstase.
“None of the possible hypotheses are excluded. I am confident that we will reach the end. All kinds of fictions that have been thrown into the public space regarding the fact that the current leadership of the Republic of Moldova is behind this death are part of a well-developed scenario introduced by forces hostile to our civilized European path,” the minister said in an interview with Europa Liberă.
Russian political scientist and journalist Armen Gasparyan said that Lunkasu’s death was a “black mark” for Plahotniuc and invited the oligarch to give a live interview to shed light on who needed this death.
The name of Iurie Lunkasu is associated with a deal worth more than 154 million lei, as a result of which a Cypriot company acquired buildings in the perimeter of Timis and Bujorilor streets in Chisinau, owned by Plahotniuc.
One of the buildings looks like the White House in Washington.
