Moldovan authorities have seized over $1 million in illegal political financing from a Moscow-backed political group. The funds were confiscated from approximately 150 individuals at the Chisinau airport upon their return from a trip to Moscow.

The seizure of the funds raises concerns about Russian attempts to influence Moldovan politics and destabilize the country amidst tensions with Ukraine, where Russian troops are stationed in the breakaway Transnistria region.
