Ilan Shor: 'We never give money to people to vote for us'
Ilan Shor is a fugitive oligarch and convicted criminal - now living in Moscow - who's accused of being the mastermind behind a pro-Russian vote-buying and vote-influencing scheme in Moldova. He is opposed to Moldova joining the European Union and wants to see the country's pro-Western president - Maia Sandu - defeated in a run-off election next month. Speaking to Newshour's Tim Franks he responds to charges of paying people to turn up at anti-EU rallies and vote against President Sandu and her policies.
