In Moldova, the General Police Inspectorate is investigating more than 400 cases of voter bribery during the first round of the presidential elections, NewsMaker writes.

According to the law, people who cooperate with the investigation will be exempt from paying a fine, law enforcement officials added.

After processing 99.64% of the protocols, the current President of Moldova Maia Sandu received 42.37% of the votes, and the nominee of the pro-Russian Party of Socialists of Moldova Alexandru Stoianoglo received 26.02%. This means that a second round of presidential elections will be held.

The second round of presidential elections in Moldova will be held on November 3.

Along with the first round of presidential elections, a constitutional referendum on joining the EU was held in Moldova.
