I know very well that the SIS, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other institutions report daily to the first persons of the state. This is a normal institutional process.

The ex-president believes that the criminal case against him pursues geopolitical goals.
The Moldovan Prosecutor's Office protested Dodon's house arrest»I am absolutely convinced that my case is under political control, maybe even under control outside the walls of the presidency.I have reason to believe that not only domestic political interests, not only the fight against the opposition, but about and certain geopolitical goals, and everything secret becomes clear sooner or later,» Dodon said. Employees of the anti-corruption prosecutor's office on Tuesday detained Dodon, whom the authorities suspect of passive corruption, illegal enrichment, financing the party through a criminal organization and betrayal of the motherland. Searches and investigative measures were carried out in the house of the former leader.
