<h1>Moldovan prime minister says Russia spent hundreds of millions to influence parliamentary vote through bribery, cyberattacks, and disinformation</h1> Moldova's prime minister accused Russia of spending hundreds of millions of euros to influence an upcoming parliamentary election, alleging criminal interference through large-scale vote buying, more than 1,000 cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, plans to incite riots, and expansive online disinformation aimed at weakening the pro-European governing party. Authorities cite a fugitive pro-Russian oligarch convicted in 2023 as a financier, have conducted hundreds of searches, detained dozens and launched investigations including raids and arrests for alleged riot plotting and illicit party financing via cryptocurrencies. Moscow denies meddling while a Russia-friendly opposition held public rallies and accused Western actors of interference.
