Following the suicide of 30-year-old football referee Gheorghe Moldovan on September 28 near Orhei, conflicting accounts have emerged regarding the circumstances leading to his death.

Irina Moldovan, the referee’s wife during their ongoing divorce, has alleged a history of physical, psychological, and economic abuse. She claimed that Moldovan controlled her finances and movements, and further accused him of causing a serious injury to their daughter. She noted that upon arriving at their home, Moldovan was wearing a shirt that read, ‘Divorce kills, the woman kills.’

Conversely, the deceased’s brother, Dima Moldovan, has contested these allegations. He asserted that the daughter’s injury was an accident that occurred while her father was playing with her. Dima suggested that the legal pressures and emotional toll of the divorce contributed to his brother’s depression and mental state.
