Moldova takes action on EU-Russia money laundering

EUObserver reported that in February 2013 that Moldova had launched criminal proceedings in a money laundering case involving its biggest bank, the Russian mafia and six EU countries.

The move came after UK-based investment firm, Hermitage Capital, filed a complaint with the Moldovan prosecutor in June 2013.
