MOLDOVA-RUSSIA-ECONOMY-CORRUPTION-BANKING

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY MIHAELA RODINA A man leaves an automatic teller machine (ATM) of Banca de Economii (BEM) in Chisinau on March 27, 2015. A billion dollars is a lot for Europe's poorest state of Moldova, but that is how much money has evaporated in a scandal that threatens to destabilize the country's banking system. Investigators, anti-corruption prosecutors and American auditors have been searching the books for clues about the mysterious transaction, an embarrassment for the ex-Soviet state that is on track for EU membership. The case of the vanishing billion came to light when the Central Bank of Moldova found out that three banks have given out loans worth 1 billion US dollars, or 15 percent of the impoverished ex-Soviet state's GDP.
