Moldova: PM announces resignation amid fraud allegations

Last week you were asked to pray against corruption and fraud in Moldova . This week the prime minister of Moldova, Chiril Gaburici, announced his resignation a day after the prosecution questioned him on his fraudulent  high-school and university diplomas. Gaburici, a pro-European businessman and candidate of the Liberal Democratic Party, became Prime Minister five months ago in February and came into the governing position claiming to be a manager not a politician and saying that the country had to change its political system. With his resignation move, he wants to ensure that the authorities will carry out an objective and transparent investigation into his credentials. Earlier, he had called on the state prosecutor and the head of the central bank to resign for failure to act effectively over the disappearance of one billion US dollars  from three Moldovan banks. Gaburici expressed regret that questions on his studies had become ‘an instrument of a political game’, making no comments on the contents of the allegations.
