(ANSA-AFP) - CHISINAU-CRIS, 12 MAR - Moldovan police said
Sunday they had arrested members of a network "orchestrated by
Moscow" in a bid to destabilise the small ex-Soviet nation as an
anti-government protest kicked off. After searches on Saturday
night, 25 men were questioned and seven of them detained, police
chief Viorel Cernauteanu told media. An agent managed to
infiltrate the group led by a Moldovan-Russian, he said, adding
that the prosecution had recorded 10 hours of video and audio.
"People came from Russia with a very specific training role,"
the official added. The Moldovan authorities said they acted
after "receiving information on the organisation by Russian
special services of destabilising actions on our territory via
demonstrations". The party of fugitive pro-Russian oligarch
Ilhan Shor has again mobilised people in recent weeks against
the pro-European government, amid heightened tensions between
Moscow and Chisinau. (ANSA-AFP).
