Five people have been detained following an investigation related to the collapse of the TUX Moldova financial pyramid, which left approximately 50,000 citizens without money. The police conducted 28 searches, confiscating hundreds of thousands of lei, foreign currency, computers, and mobile phones, all of which are relevant evidence for investigating illicit activities, money laundering, and tax evasion.

TUX Moldova, an online platform that promised quick profits with minimal investments, attracted many Moldovans with daily interest rates of 4%. On October 7, users were informed that they needed to invest additionally to maintain their active accounts, which generated panic and confusion. The National Commission for Financial Markets has repeatedly warned about the risks associated with investments in crypto platforms, highlighting the complexity of the situation and the need for financial education.
