CRJM expert observation

The ruling concerns an accusation of electoral corruption through the organization of local meetings, voter recruitment, and facilitating certain transfers/benefits through PSB. The court found that Roșca Tatiana acted in the interest of the Bloc “VICTORIE – ПОБЕДА,” although the bloc had not been registered by the CEC.

The peculiarity of the case lies in the differences between the witness statements in court and those during the criminal investigation: Guzun Angela denied in court that she knew the accused, but her previous statements indicated a gathering at her home and a transfer of 5,000 rubles; Moisei Elena described the installation of PSB and electoral instructions. The court opted for a monetary fine of 900 u.c. and the return of the phone, without confiscation.
