Businessman Oleg Voronin, the son of former President (2001-2009) and current Party of Communists (PC) head Vladimir Voronin, testified today at the Center to Fight Economic Crime and Corruption.
Mr. Voronin was there to explain why he had spent 67 million lei (about six million U.S. dollars) in his personal bank account in 2008-2009 despite the fact that his reported personal income was much lower.
Authorities say that the former President's son is being investigated for money laundering and tax evasion.
Oleg Voronin told the press that the new Government should learn from his father, whom he called a "grand President," instead of interviewing him.
Mr. Voronin became notorious during Communist rule (2001-2009) as a very wealthy businessman. Opposition parties at the time accused the Government of helping Oleg Voronin grow wealthy by pressuring other businesses.
Vladimir Voronin said recently that the investigation of his son's financial dealings is organized by the ruling Alliance for European Integration to incur revenge on him.
The Center to Fight Economic Crime and Corruption, which is investigating Mr. Voronin's case, has denied all accusations.
