Moldova's Integrity Authority runs e-Integritate, which cross-checks officials' asset declarations against state registers and picks cases for in-depth control by risk criteria -- but a 2024 GRECO review found verification capacity still needs significant improvement.

Context

Moldova's National Integrity Authority (ANI) operates e-Integritate, an automated system for filing, archiving and verifying asset and personal-interest declarations from public officials, made operational with support from an 18-month, $250,000 project funded by the US State Department's INL bureau and implemented by the Council of Europe, running from June 2020.

Results

e-Integritate cross-references declarations against external state registers and uses ANI Integrity Council-approved risk factors to randomly select a subset of declarations each year for in-depth control rather than checking every filing manually. The approach mirrors risk-based verification systems in Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro, linked since 2021 through a regional data-exchange treaty that Moldova joined in October 2023.

Conclusions

A 2024 Council of Europe/GRECO evaluation of Moldova found ANI's capacity for in-depth control of declarations still requires significant improvement, and no public source reviewed documents hard performance figures -- such as declarations screened, red flags confirmed, or cases referred to prosecutors.
