Pro-European incumbent Maia Sandu won Sunday’s presidential election but failed to secure 50% of votes and so now faces a Nov. 3 runoff against former prosecutor-general Alexandr Stoianoglo, who is backed by a traditionally pro-Russian party. In the referendum, a surprisingly slim majority – 50.46% of voters – supported EU accession. Moldovan police said pro-Russian fugitive businessman Ilan Shor had channeled $39 million in September and October in a scheme to bribe voters in last Sunday’s presidential election and referendum on joining the EU.The police earlier accused Shor of an attempt to bribe 130,000 voters. He denies any wrongdoing, and the Kremlin has denied interfering in the vote. Do you think that Russia could be interfering with Moldova elections ?
