Sandu Believes that the United States Does not Cover Up Plahotniuc: He Sued Pompeo

Plahotniuc applied for political asylum and was waiting for an answer. After denial, he decided to sue, but the US Secretary of State clearly defined who he was, Maia Sandu said. The leader of the “Action and Solidarity” party, Maia Sandu, stated this in the Glavnoie program with Nina Dimoglo on TVC-21, enews.md reports. “Do you think the Americans will help to extradite Plahotniuc to Moldova or continue to cover him?” the host asked. “I don’t think that they cover him. And we heard what the Secretary of State said about him. Before that, Plahotniuc asked for political asylum and stayed there to wait for an answer. They say that the decision was negative. And then he filed a suit against Pompeo,” Sandu noted. Sandu notes that this is the case of international fight against crime. To extradite Plahotniuc, the prosecutor’s office needs to send documents to the United States. “And there should be serious charges. The prosecutor’s office has every chance to enable his extradition. I hope it will manage its job well,” Maia Sandu emphasized.
