On July 11, Moldova's Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office asked the court for a 13-year prison sentence for Tauber, who was accused of financing the Sor party and interfering with justice, including for participating in a rally in support of the leader of the Pobeda bloc, Ilan Shor, last year. Police have cordoned off the entire perimeter of the courthouse where Tauber’s trial is continuing, barring pedestrians. Despite this, Tauber's supporters organized a rally in her support, relocating across the boulevard from the Chisinau courthouse where proceedings are ongoing. Protesters chanted "Marina, we are with you" and expressed conviction that the case is politically motivated. Moldova’s parliamentary elections are scheduled for September 28. The Moldovan government has been criticized for cracking down on the opposition and arbitrarily arresting its leaders. Gagauzia head Yevgenia Gutsul was detained at the Chisinau airport in March on charges of violating campaign finance rules and falsifying documents. Opposition lawmakers have been routinely detained at Moldovan airports for visiting Russia, while criminal cases continue piling up against government critics.
