Another Moldovan mercenary from Donbas detained in Moldova

Moldovan Prosecutor General's Office assisted by officers from the Information and Security Service have detained a 40-year resident of the city Cimislia, southern Moldova, who fought in 2014 on the side of the pro-Russian rebels in Donbas, according to the Ukrinform’s own correspondent in the Republic of Moldova.

A representative of the Prosecutor General's Office said the detained man "partially admitted his guilt: he was responsible for securing food and money for the rebels in Donbas."

The Moldova Prosecutor’s office noted this is the ninth Moldovan national, who was detained for mercenary activities. Five of them were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, and the cases of three others are still being probed.

The Prosecutor's Office and the Information and Security Service assured that their work on similar cases will be continued until all persons, engaged in mercenary activities in the territory of Moldova, will have been identified.
