About our Ilan Shor news
Latest news on Ilan Shor, a Moldovan businessman, oligarch, and politician who served as mayor of the Moldovan city of Orhei from 2015 to 2019. He owns several Moldovan businesses, including a company named Dufremol and the FC Milsami football club.
He is a pro-Moscow opposition figure in Moldovan politics and has been accused of being involved in Kremlin's efforts to subvert Moldova. In October 2022, he was sanctioned by the United States Department of Treasury over his association with the Russian government. Ilan Șor is accused of working with Moscow-based entities to undermine the pro-western government of Moldova. Nicu Popescu, the country's foreign minister, has called on the EU to impose sanctions on Șor. Moldovan prosecutors are seeking Șor's extradition from Israel, where he fled in 2019 after being convicted of money laundering and embezzlement in a bank fraud scandal that syphoned off $1bn from the country.
