In two and a half weeks, the price of Ilan Shor’s cars has been reduced by 20%. The first auction was supposed to take place yesterday but was postponed due to the lack of participants. Judicial executor Roman Talmas believes that people avoid participating due to the thorough verification of the money’s origin and the desire not to be associated with the image of a compromised person, reports tv8.md.
“The auction was supposed to take place at 10.00. Until 17.00 the previous day, potential buyers had the opportunity to register, but there was no interest in this lot. Therefore, no one registered to purchase this item. We will organize a repeated auction with a price reduction. The price will be 20% below the market value,” says Talmas.
Thus, the price of a Bentley Continental will be over 1 million 500 thousand lei, and a 1988 “Volga” will be over 225 thousand lei.
However, the Banca de Economii, which is in the process of liquidation, may demand that the auctioned cars become the property of the bank to cover the damage caused.
Roman Talmas believes that the offer does not generate much interest among the public, as the cars are associated with former owner Ilan Shor.
Two of Ilan Shor’s cars were put up for auction on June 21 following the final decision of the Chisinau Court of Appeal to recover part of the stolen billion. One of the mandatory rules of the auction is that participants must justify the origin of the funds.
