The President of "Our Party", Renato Usatii confirms that he met with the "business partners" of Nicolae Hacico, about whom Deschide.MD wrote today that is prosecuted of drug trafficking and selling. Although, he did not respond on our requests to offer a comment on this subject, the leader of Our Party commented the restraint of Hacico in a live intervention published on his Facebook account. He states that Israelians wanted from him the permission to use the lands, which belong to the city halls of PN, in order to cultivate medicinal cannabis on them. Usatii confirms that Hacico intermediated the meeting, nevertheless he considers him innocent and advises the members of the party to protest in support of their colleague.

"These Israelians contacted me a year ago and said that they represent a company in Canada. They told me that want to grow some plants in the Republic of Moldova. They asked me if we have lands in the city halls where the mayors are from "Our Party". They said that the investment in one hectare would bring revenue of millions. They also said that in the Republic of Moldova is allowed the cultivation of these plants. I understood that this was about medicinal cannabis. I told them that I never heard of this, however if all the judicial issues are solved, then all the Moldova would agree to cultivate these plants. Afterwards they disappeared and now I see on TV that they were arrested. I do not know what these people are doing, however I have said that everything that is legal should be done because the country is on its knees and only with tomatoes and corn we will not go far."

"Hacico said they documented on the legal aspects", continued Renato Usatîi.

About the fact that the fearless activist, participant at the #NuMaTem manifestation, wet himself when he was arrested, Usatii says that this is normal if we take into consideration the behavior of the institutions controlled by Vlad Plahotniuc. 

"The fact that they scared the teenager, I want to say that Plahotniuc is a bastard that uses blackmail and psychological pressure. They must be ashamed about what they did to Hacico. I have been told that the Prosecutor Bacalam proposed a deal to Hacico. To testify against Usatai, as he would be the organizer of this criminal group, in exchange for his freedom."

At the same time, Renato Usatai expressed his regret that "the editorial office Deschide.MD, which earlier was realizing journalistic investigations and was fighting with dirty cops, now is saying what is recommending to them Vlad Plahotniuc."

Editorial note: Deschide.MD is expressing its regret for the fact that Mr. Renato Usatai is not answering to our calls and texts when we are asking for his opinion and prefers to launch post-factum accusations. At the same time we assure the leader of “Our Party” that Deschide.MD continues the fight against the commited illegalities both in the institutions controlled by the actual Government, and in the rounds of the opposition Parties. Secondly, we urge Renato Usatai to send to our editorial office information about any illegalities whenever he will have any, and we will investigate them with maximum responsibility, as we did it always with the topics sent to us by our loyal readers.

We will remind you that yesterday, the General Inspectorate of Police announced in a press release about the arresting of a man that was a member of a criminal group, uncovered by the Police in July 2016. After the investigations, made by the reporters of Deschide.MD, we found out that this is about Nicolae Hacico, member of “Our Party”, the 29th  nominee on the list of the “Patria” Party at the Parliamentary elections in 2014. At his 32 years old, Hacico – who’s name is associated with the protest #NuMaTem – wet himself fearing off the masked police officers and handcuffs, as is seen in the unedited video obtained by the editorial office Deschide.MD
