In response to today's announcment from the UK's National Crime Agency that the son of an ex-Moldovan PM has been forced to hand over nearly half a million pounds, Ava Lee, Senior Anti-Corruption Campaigner at Global Witness said:
"This kid is the son of an former Prime Minister imprisoned for abuse of power related to a billion dollar scandal, driving to uni in a Bentley, renting a pent-house that costs more each day than most students pay a month. The National Crime Agency should now be asking the bank, the university, the estate agent and the car dealer what checks they made on this suspicious spender and his Cayman Island companies."
