In 2010-2012, there was a new wave of raider attacks (forced takeover of shares) on shareholders of banks and insurance companies from Moldova.

In the autumn of 2010, the shareholders of Victoriabank were stripped of their shares at Victoriabank through rulings issued by the court. The same scheme was used later in the Laundromat.

In the summer of 2011, the Moldova-Agroindbank, Victoriabank, Banca de Economii and Universalbank suffered from a raider attack. Two of these banks are in liquidation now.

The attacks were performed through courts, including the Căușeni District Court, but also through other state or private institutions.

Several raider attacks took place in the past, during the Communist Party Government. In 2001-2009, over 500 transactions and transfers of shares were reported. These transactions were also possible due to court rulings and had the characteristics of raider attacks. The victims were shareholders from Victoriabank, Agroindbank, Carmez company and others.

In the last two-three years, such attacks have taken place on the shareholders of some Moldovan banks. Currently, the prosecutors are investigating the Fincombank case.
