The Center for Investigative Journalism and the reporter Mariana Colun verbally attacked on a social network by socialist deputy Oleg Savva have filed complaints with several institutions asking the law enforcement to investigate the case and the behavior of the Socialist MP.

The General Police Inspectorate, the General Prosecutor's Office, the People's Advocate, the Council for Prevention and Elimination of Discrimination and Ensuring the Equality, as well as the Parliamentary Commission “Legal Committee for Appointments and Immunities”, were requested to examine the actions of  the MP Oleg Savva, manifested through intimidation, discrimination and incitement to hatred against the journalist  of the Centre for Investigative Journalism.

Anticoruptie.md portal will write later about the reactions of the authorities to this effect.

We remind that the MP Oleg Savva appeared to be unhappy with an article targeting him, naming the reporter "liar", "raff," and "illiterate girl." Savva also threatened the journalist with a trial and a physical harassment. "We can also attack! You should know that we will retaliate to any "attack" against the Socialists", the MP wrote on his Facebook page.

"Still you cannot calm down... I have already sent a prior request. ... give up, anyway no one will vote for your moral monsters. Read the article ... written by an illiterate girl. And not a single legislative initiative has been withdrawn by me. Liar!!!!! And you write that these initiatives also target the combatants in the transnistrian region. Explain to these veterans what you have against them", wrote Oleg Savva."You raff, lousy  journalists",  writes  the socialist MP about Mariana Colun and the journalist Vasile Năstase, host of "60 minutes" show  on Jurnal TV.

The verbal abuse of socialist MP Oleg Savva got worse. He reiterated that he did not deny his words. "Because of journalists like them, journalism is called the second oldest profession on earth. And we know that they are paid by the West and they continue to destroy this state, Republic of Moldova !!! ", wrote the MP in a Facebook post. The Socialist went ahead, by threatening the journalist with physical aggression. "We can also attack! You should know that we will retaliate to any "attack" against the Socialists", commented the MP." You will speak Romanian in your homeland, Romania", wrote Oleg Savva. The comments of the Socialist MP have generated other hateful comments and threats against the CIJM reporter personally and the media as a whole.
