Greek police have seized 21 fake documents from fugitive Moldovan oligarch Vlad Plahotniuc.
This was reported by NewsMaker citing a Moldovan police statement.
According to law enforcers, Greek authorities informed Chisinau about a large number of forged documents issued by different states in the name of Plahotniuc and his associate Constantin Tsutsu.
"During a personal search at the airport, as well as during a search at the place of residence, a number of documents with different identities were found. Some of them were issued by the same country, but contained different identities, different photos and different dates/months/years of birth," police said.
Tsutsu was found to have five fake documents of Romanian and Bulgarian samples, while Plahotniuc had 21.
In particular, Plahotniuc had:
10 passports in different names, allegedly issued in Vanuatu, Iraq, Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria (in some countries - several documents each);
four identity cards, particularly from Vanuatu, Bulgaria and Romania;
six driver's licenses, including documents from Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Romania and Russia;
one Ukrainian internal passport.
The names Plahotniuc used include Al Shahin Fereydoun Shahin Yako, Mihai Antoje, Mikhail Taushanov, Stanislav Kirsanov and Vladimir Plahotniuc.
