Dorin Recean, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, after the postponement of Vladimir Plahotniuc's extradition: "Even if he hopes that after the elections Moldova will fall into the hands of Russia and he will be able to come home freely, the institutions must bring him back in handcuffs."

The Greek authorities have postponed the extradition of the oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc, scheduled for September 25, without providing reasons. Prime Minister Dorin Recean emphasized that the process should not be halted and that institutions must bring Plahotniuc to justice. He is accused of fraud and is under international pursuit. The postponement comes ahead of the legislative elections on September 28, which could affect the political climate in Moldova.
