Revine în Moldova un oligarh controversat / Igor Makarov, sancționat de Canada și legat de regimul Voronin, vrea să investească un miliard de dolari / ”Dacă faci aici depozit de gaze, poți să vinzi în Europa la prețul de pe burse”

Russian billionaire Igor Makarov, who holds Moldovan citizenship, plans to invest in Moldova's energy sector, potentially covering gas bills for hospitals and investing up to $1 billion in gas storage projects. He expressed concern over the upcoming winter's energy challenges and highlighted the opportunity for Moldova to become a player in the gas market by storing gas for sale in Europe. Makarov, who has a controversial business history and was sanctioned by Canada due to ties with Russian officials, aims to develop large gas storage capacities in Moldova. He has previously privatized energy assets in the region and has maintained connections with Moldovan leadership.
