Series Overview
Romanian businessmen accused of major fraud and other crimes are exporting similar looking business strategies across the Prut River into Moldova. Moldova, a country of 3.5 million with language and cultural ties to its European neighbor, has struggled through a 20-year transition from part of the old Soviet Union to independent democracy. Feeble state institutions, inadequate legal safeguards, corruption and poverty have created a fertile ground for criminal groups even as the country makes timid first steps towards EU integration. The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project looks at a number of businessmen who ran afoul of Romanian police yet have opened shop in their neighbor often with connections to high-level Moldovan officials.
