“The Prosecutor General’s Office has opened a criminal case related to the gambling business. About 65 domestic companies have ceased their activities. The information was sent to the Government. The prosecutor’s office is taking measures to bring to justice all those involved in this. In addition to Turkey, the department sent a request for the extradition of Plahotniuc from Cyprus and Saudi Arabia.
