The former chief of Moldova’s highest tax authority, Nicolae Vicol, remains at large after being sentenced in absentia to six years in prison for corruption.
Vicol was convicted earlier this month for abuse of power and illegally wiretapping his colleagues. His sentence was decided by the First Court in Chisinau on June 18 in the culmination of a court case that stretched over two years.
The court also banned Vicol from holding public office for five years and ordered him to pay a fine of 10,000 Moldovan lei (about US$ 533).
The court pronounced the sentence in Vicol’s absence. His lawyer, Vasile Nicoară, said Vicol was in Romania for medical treatment and his planned date of return was unknown.
