MM>>>>> Since September 2015 our company, Ritlabs, SRL is being MM>>>>> abused by police and prosecutors. We have experienced similar MM>>>>> attempts before, but now they have taken an acute form. On MM>>>>> September 14, 2015 the Police performed search, authorized by MM>>>>> a judge, in our office, and seized hard disk drives from all MM>>>>> computers, and on December 4, upon authorization of the same MM>>>>> judge, they ordered to permanently block all our bank MM>>>>> accounts. The judge’s orders in both cases were issued in MM>>>>> closed hearing, where we could not present our arguments. MM>>>>> There is no such a law in Moldova to permit for a Moldovan MM>>>>> court to allow an ex parte suspension of a bank account. But MM>>>>> this law was violated in case of Ritlabs, SRL. We have filed MM>>>>> an appeal on December 8 and today we have prevailed. The MM>>>>> Appeals Chamber has quashed the court order that has blocked MM>>>>> our bank accounts. However, we still didn’t get a written MM>>>>> decision that we might have shown to the bank. So we still MM>>>>> cannot make payment. And the Police and the Prosecutors can MM>>>>> make new searches and seizures and block accounts again, for MM>>>>> them it is incredibly easy. Our company, Ritlabs, SRL, is not MM>>>>> a party of this criminal case. While our accounts are MM>>>>> blocked, the employees are not able to receive wages that we MM>>>>> transfer monthly to their bank accounts, and we are unable to MM>>>>> make any other payment, for example a payment to the hosting provider of our servers. MM>>>>> We think it is a deliberate attempt to destroy our company.
