“We also specify that 7 cases were registered in which the citizens notified the police and requested the investigation of actions of the persons present at the so-called” protest “. Due to the constant attempts of the” Șor “criminal group to create challenges and destabilization, the police were forced to increase the vigilance, including in the national traffic.

Pro-Russian promises thousands of dollars

The protesters gathered on Saturday, August 16, following the call of the fugitive ilan Șor oligar, which initially promised them a $ 3,000 salary, then changed the sheet and claimed that they do not pay them to be present at the protests, but only compensate for their salary for the time they will be missing.

Representatives of the General Police Inspectorate stressed that Ilan Șor who is “The leader of the criminal organization, wants to involve citizens in illegal activities and incites violence. Șor is hidden and wants to hold other people to fulfill their illegalities. ”

At the same time the police warned that “Participation in the protest for payment promises is a serious violation of the law. Citizens do not want to participate in the illegal actions of the Șor group, thus, the criminal group promises large amounts for the protest and the expression of opinions that do not belong to the citizens. The national policy qualifies these messages as criminal urges and urges all citizens not to fall into the place of illegal promises. The people of the law will not allow the organization of criminal groups in illegal protest actions that aim to cause disorder and violence. Any attempt will be firmly rejected in the legal framework ”.
