Ilan Șor
Moldovan political party leader at the center of a Russia-linked political-financing and influence network. Moldovan law-enforcement findings and an updated European Union sanctions listing connect the network to vote buying, illegal financing and disinformation around the 2024 presidential election and EU referendum.
This is not a biography collection. Entries cover a person's record on elections and voting rights only, and every entry carries a citation to a court ruling, an official finding, or an election-observation report. Nothing appears here without a source, and inclusion is not a judgement about a person.
