Moldovan gasification companies tax evasion investigation

Overview

Moldovan authorities have launched an investigation into several gasification companies suspected of a tax evasion scheme. Prosecutors from the State Tax Service's General Anti-Fraud Directorate allege that between 2023 and 2024, these firms used distorted accounting data regarding income from gasification works and consumer connections to reduce tax obligations, resulting in an estimated loss of four million lei to the state budget.

On August 17, 2026, law enforcement conducted searches at offices, residences, and vehicles belonging to decision-makers in central and southern Moldova. Investigators seized accounting documents and other materials to support the ongoing probe.
