The Security and Intelligence Service jointly with the Prosecutor's Office for Combating Organized Crime and Special Cases (PCCOCS) and Internal Protection and Anti-Corruption Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are investigating the actions of individuals who have recently proliferated in public biased and invented information about the Ukrainian war.
The documented facts refer to systematic dissemination of such information via different types of media. The investigation revealed that these actions aimed to promote war among the Moldovan population and to generate social discord. Therefore, the actions are investigated in the light of the offenses provided for in art. 140 and 346 of the Criminal Code.
As investigations are ongoing, further data will be provided when information of major social impact becomes available, as long as the objectivity of the investigation is not affected.
At the same time, citizens are asked to be vigilant about the sources of information and to refrain from the illegal actions mentioned above.
