The newspaper notes that as part of the exposed program, hundreds of Moldovans were taken to Russia to be trained in organizing riots. According to the police, people have been taken to Russia in groups of 20 for training since June.
It is also noted that more than 300 Moldovan citizens have recently traveled to Russia. The head of the national police, Viorela Cernauteanu, said that the purpose of the trips was allegedly cultural events, but in reality, Moldovans visited camps where they were taught to organize unrest in their country.
