In the context of the public statements made by some Members of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, we note the following:
The Security and Intelligence Service continues to document the abuses committed by the representatives of the so-called law enforcement institutions from the Tiraspol. We remind that SIS identified individuals involved in the kidnapping of Andrei AMARFI, an employee of the Florești Police Inspectorate. The obtained preliminary information was forwarded to the General Prosecutor's Office to support criminal procedure measures initiated on this case.
Likewise, we possess operative information about the detention of persons incriminated for activity in favour of the constitutional bodies of the Republic of Moldova, during 7-8 October. The information was promptly provided to law enforcement bodies and further efforts are being made to elucidate the circumstances and to help the release of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova.
We reiterate that the SIS, with plenipotentiary powers, engages all of its instruments in order to ensure the security of the detained citizens and to provide support for the criminal prosecution of individuals who are guilty of the illegal acts.
We perceive these hostile actions committed during the electoral campaign as a possible attempt to influence the democratic processes in the Republic of Moldova.
We consider it necessary to handle the operative information in an intelligent way without prejudice to the criminal investigation.
