‘Theft of the century’ in Moldova

 

Probably, there is no person in Europe who would not have heard about the “theft of the century” in Moldova. From the banking system of this small post-Soviet country, painfully experiencing a choice between the West and the East, nearly a billion US dollars were stolen. Among the victims was the system-forming bank ‘Banca de economii’, which the state declared bankrupt.

 

Who is guilty?

 

Until now, the European society had a strong opinion regarding the organizers and beneficiaries of this audacious theft. It was based partly on the assessments of Moldovan opposition, and partly on the findings of the first report of the detective company Kroll, which the National Bank of Moldova hired to search for the stolen money. This view states that the main guilty of “the theft of the century” is Ilan Shor, a young businessman and politician who controlled all three banks involved in the money withdrawal scheme.

 

It would seem that everything is simple! He controlled the bank, withdrew the money and hid them and now is engaged in politics, builds a real European city from a ruined provincial center, is engaged in charity, helps the elderly and children and prepares for elections to get immunity. But this elementary logic at some point fails. Any sane person has the right to ask himself a question: he stole the money, withdrew them, but why did he stay? Why did not run away, did not leave, did not hide from justice? With Israeli citizenship and a billion of dollars, Ilan Shor could be perfectly settled anywhere in the world. Including Europe, known to be very loyal to very rich people.
