The 2010 Moldovan elections were close. Putin sent his right-hand man Sergey Naryshkin to try & persuade Lupu, Plahotniuc and other members of the Democratic Party to defect back to the Communists.
He did not succeed, but encouraged the Democrats to secure a high price for not defecting, w the signing of a secret agreement in Dec 2010 [leaked in 2012] to partition not just ministries, but also supposedly neutral state institutions & the economy itself. http://archiva.flux.md/articole/12545/ www.hotnews.md/articles/view.hot?id=13579
The Liberal Democrats ran the customs, & the Liberals the airways and railways [via the Min of Transportation].
The Dem Party was allowed to control the whole justice sector: the courts, the Procuracy & the National Anti-Corruption Centre [NAC] [which turned into its ironic opposite]. Its legal powers were used to soften up & take over businesses targeted by Plahotniuc & to shift state bank accounts [the telecoms & postal service, Chisinau airport & the health & education ministries] to his Victoria bank. Plahotniuc took over Publika TV in the summer of 2012.
PM Filat meanwhile had a role in the customs [75% of the budget] & controlled Tutun-CTC [a tobacco factory in Chisinau] & Aroma [alcohol].
2 notorious deals in 2013 to sell the Banca de Economii & Chisinau airport to shady Russians were allegedly approved by Filat. pg 165: https://www.amazon.com/Ukraine-Crisis-What-Means-West/dp/0300211597/ref=pd_ybh_a_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QKNYFVQPW3A5NRDMZVZX&fbclid=IwAR0XgT98tnYAAMC4sgNVITE_02ZelNgOLPzVs8QVSpDNL433YzxooHXdtNs
