Gagauzia governor appeals conviction as Moldova proposes new investment framework
Defense lawyers for Gagauzia Bashkan Evghenia Guțul have appealed her sentence, while Moldova unveils a draft law to support investments over €50 million.
Lawyers representing Gagauzia Bashkan Evghenia Guțul have appealed her seven-year prison sentence to Moldova's Supreme Court of Justice, seeking to overturn a previous appellate court ruling. Amid regional tensions, former president Igor Dodon insisted that elections for the People's Assembly of Gagauzia must proceed on November 15 in strict compliance with local electoral legislation.
To boost economic development, the Moldovan government introduced a draft law enabling direct agreements and administrative support for major investment projects exceeding €50 million. Concurrently, law enforcement authorities issued warnings regarding financial phone scams after reporting recent victim losses surpassing 600,000 lei.
