By RFE/RL's Moldovan Service July 31, 2024

Moldovan Intelligence and Security Service (SIS) agents and anti-corruption prosecutors on July 31 raided the premises of the country's parliament in Chisinau, RFE/RL has learned. "Procedural actions led by prosecutors from the Office for Combating Crime and Special Cases are under way at the moment," Daniela Manzat, a spokeswoman for SIS, told RFE/RL, adding, "We will get back to you with more details during the day." SIS sources told RFE/RL the search is linked to an espionage case targeting the parliament's legal department chief, Ion Creanga, who had allegedly been caught passing information to employees of the Russian Embassy to Moldova.
