Marina Tauber is the deputy leader of the ŞOR Party and a Member of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova. She was charged in the “Bank Fraud” case and she is subject to investigation in two criminal cases in the Republic of Moldova related to the illegal financing from an organised criminal group and the falsification of the report on the financial management of the ŞOR Party. On 20 December 2022, prosecutors conducted several searches in connection with the case of the illegal financing of Ilan Shor’s party. The authorities of the Republic of Moldova then identified money which, according to the prosecutors, was to be used for organising anti-government protests and remunerating the participants in those demonstrations. In 2023, knives, flammable substances and daggers were seized following protests organised by the People’s Movement, which the ŞOR Party is part of. Violence and altercations between the police and demonstrators were registered, where 54 people were detained, including minors. According to the General Police Inspectorate of the Republic of Moldova, Marina Tauber was among the main organisers of the protests of the ŞOR Party and the People’s Movement. According to the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Moldova, she used special communication instruments in order to give direct instructions to the presidents and vice- presidents of the territorial offices of the ȘOR Party in the country on how to bring people to the demonstrations, organise transport and how to receive the money for the remuneration of the people. By directing and planning violent demonstrations and through her serious financial misconduct concerning public funds and the unauthorised export of capital, Marina Tauber is responsible for actions which undermine and threaten the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova, and the democracy, the rule of law, stability and security in the Republic of Moldova.

In its conclusions of 23 March 2023, the European Council pledged to continue to provide all relevant support to the Republic of Moldova, including to strengthen the country’s resilience, security, stability, economy and energy supply in the face of destabilising activities by external actors. A threat to democracy and the rule of law, stability and security of the Republic of Moldova is posed by persons who obstruct or undermine the holding of elections and attempt to overthrow the constitutional order, including through acts of violence. The efforts to destabilise the Republic of Moldova increased in particular since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. On 24 April 2023, the Council reached a broad agreement on a new framework for targeted restrictive measures against persons responsible for, supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova, and democracy, the rule of law, stability or security in the Republic of Moldova, and persons, entities or bodies associated with them. The measures consist of a travel ban to the EU and an asset freeze for persons and entities; additionally, EU persons and entities are forbidden from making funds available to those listed.
