In response to a tragic crime in the Măgdăcești/Criuleni district, Prime Minister Vasile Tofan announced urgent government measures, including enhanced border controls and monitoring of aggressors. This has prompted parliamentary discussions, with a moment of silence observed and public hearings initiated on preventing femicide and violence against women.
Meanwhile, a major investigation is underway into the illegal financing of political parties and money laundering, with law enforcement conducting searches and probing 16 individuals suspected of using cryptocurrencies from abroad. Additionally, the head of the Security and Intelligence Service warned that Moldovan citizens are being recruited via Telegram for sabotage activities outside the country, with their numbers on the rise.
