(Reuters) – Moldovan police said on Thursday that pro-Russian fugitive businessman Ilan Shor had channeled $24 million this month to pay voters in a presidential election and referendum on joining the EU.
The chief of the country’s police, Viorel Cernauteanu, said at a briefing that Shor used Russia’s Promsvyazbank for money transfers. Shor denies wrongdoing.
