Before the election: people were transported from the Russian Federation to Moldova for free

Several buses of Moldovans living permanently in Russia were brought to Moldova to vote in the second round of presidential elections. Moreover, the trip is free for them. TV8 reported this on Saturday, November 2, with reference to the General Inspectorate of Police of Moldova.

Law enforcement officials said they recorded an increase in the flow of buses with foreign license plates carrying citizens from the Russian Federation, which first landed at Istanbul airport.

The police say that “all these carriers do not have any licensing documents or contracts to provide transportation services.” They believe that the trip is “organized for certain interests.” Police said many buses were entering the country, “not just one or two.”

Moldovan police also say that citizens arriving at the border will still enter the country because they are Moldovan citizens.

According to IPN, in one of the buses that crossed the border there were about 150 people who flew for free by plane from Moscow to Istanbul, and from there continued their “journey” by bus.

After speaking with the passengers, customs officials determined that they had not paid for either the flight or the bus fare. The Russian Federation told border guards that transportation was arranged free of charge for citizens who allegedly “wanted to return home to participate in the second round of the presidential election.”

Earlier it was reported that citizens of Moldova, on the eve of the second round of presidential elections, began to receive anonymous messages with threats en masse.

As we have already written, the head of the General Inspectorate of Police of Moldova, Viorel Cerneutanu, said that Russia transferred almost $40 million to Moldova to bribe voters in the presidential election.
