Alla Dolință, who withdrew from PSRM because she did not support the “party’s rhetoric” on the war in Ukraine, indicted in the case of illegal financing of PSRM

Former socialist MP Alla Dolință has been indicted by anti-corruption prosecutors in the case of illegal financing of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM). The information was confirmed to Ziarul de Gardă by the press service of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (PA).

Representatives of the PA told ZdG that Alla Dolință is accused of “acting within the organized criminal group “Dodon”, in the period 2018 – 2020, through complicity with Igor Dodon, Zinaida Greceanii, Corneliu Furculiță, Vlad Batrincea, Olga Ratsan and others, committed complicity in knowingly accepting PSRM funding from the criminal organization “Plahotniuc”, complicity in forging official documents, by several persons; complicity in falsifying reports on the financial management of the PSRM for 2018 and 2019 and money laundering by an organized criminal group.”

In July 2022, Alla Dolință announced that she had resigned as a member of parliament and retired from the PSRM because she did not agree with and did not support “the rhetoric of both the leadership and the party as a whole” towards the war in Ukraine.

“More than 4.5 months in a neighbouring state, Ukraine, which is essentially my home because my parents were born there, is a war. It is hard for me to see the pain, the tears, the sorrow and the destruction it brings with it, it is very hard for me to accept these events.

In connection with the circumstances, I have decided to resign my mandate as an MP, as well as to withdraw from the Party of Socialists, because I do not agree and do not support the methods, concept and rhetoric, both of the leadership and of the party as a whole,” according to the resignation application submitted at the time by Alla Dolință.

In July 2021, the National Integrity Authority (ANI) issued a notice of finding in the name of former Socialist MP Alla Dolință, famous after she was caught eating juice during a parliamentary committee meeting, for violating the legal regime of incompatibilities.

The integrity inspector found that Dolință was also chairwoman of the charitable Foundation “Solution”, founded by her former party leader Igor Dodon.

During the control initiated on the basis of a self-investigation, the integrity inspector established that the former MP admitted several states of incompatibility during the exercise of her mandate as an MP, between 2014 and 2019.

In October 2020, former Socialist MP Alla Dolință appeared at an online meeting of the Legal Affairs, Appointments and Immunities Committee in a restaurant eating juice. While committee members were discussing the draft pension scheme, the vote was about to take place, the former MP appeared waving a spoon in the juice just brought by a restaurant employee.

Later, while the bill was being put to the vote, she also appeared with her phone to her ear. Her former party colleague Vasile Bolea wished her well and urged her to switch off the camera.
