The European Union imposed sanctions on seven people from Moldova for actions it said destabilized and undermined the territorial integrity of the small, impoverished country and neighboring Ukraine
The 27-nation bloc announced the punitive measures two days before more than 40 European leaders meet in Chisinau in a show of support for the former Soviet republic, which has a pro-western government and denounced Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Those targeted by the EU include Vlad Plahotniuc, deemed the mastermind of a $1 billion fraud in 2014-2015 and Ilan Sor, his pro-Russian associate who has organised mass anti-government protests from exile in Israel.
