“The person involved in the previously announced prosecution for combating crime and special cases has been granted the status of accused,” Gaitur said on the Moldovan TV channel “TV-8”, Newsmaker.md reports.

Igor Gorgan headed the General Staff until 2021. Information about his ties with Russian intelligence appeared in the media in the summer of 2024. It was alleged that Gorgan informed the Russian side about visits to Moldova by representatives of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, who were trying to purchase weapons.

Moldovan President Maia Sandu stripped the former Chief of the General Staff of his awards.
