Igor Dodon Kuliok case passive corruption Moldova judiciary political indictment

Prosecutors have modified the indictment against former Moldovan President Igor Dodon in the Kuliok (or Black Bag) case. The new charges include passive corruption committed by a person with public dignity in particularly large proportions and in the interest of a criminal group.

The updated indictment focuses on two specific episodes occurring between March and June 2019. On June 4, 2019, Dodon is accused of accepting undue financial resources through intermediaries. On June 7, 2019, he allegedly demanded additional large sums of money for a criminal structure.

Igor Dodon has rejected these accusations, maintaining that the legal proceedings are politically motivated. His defense team has requested 30 days from the court to study the new indictment document. The case is currently before the Supreme Court of Justice.
