Ilan Shor
Ilan showed interest in business issues at an early age, and his father involved him in work issues, took him to entrepreneurial conferences and meetings with partners. Already at the age of 15, the guy took on his own project, opening a company selling mobile devices, and then founded a small printing house. By the age of 16, the young man was already running an advertising company, and his father was ready to entrust him with more serious areas.
In 2005, Miron Shor died, and 18-year-old Ilan inherited a huge fortune and numerous companies. He became the head of the family for Ilona’s mother and older sister.
Jasmine's husband, businessman Ilan Shor, was detained in the billion-dollar theft case
On Wednesday, the National Anti-Corruption Center officially announced the arrest of a person involved in a scandalous case of billions in theft from three banks in the country. It turned out to be the husband of singer Jasmine, 27-year-old Moldovan millionaire Ilan Shor. “Businessman Ilan Shor was brought to the center today as a defendant in the case of fraud surrounding three banks,” NAC press secretary Angela Starinsky told reporters. She noted that new arrests and interrogations are planned for the near future. Previously, the millionaire was in the status of a suspect. In addition, two more detainees were reported in March, but their names were not disclosed.
Shore has not officially commented on his detention.
The loss of money from three banks in Moldova - Banca de Economii, Banca Sociala and Unibank - became known in November last year. Shor was the ex-head of the administrative council of the first bank for six months and is a co-owner of the other two. The American agency Kroll was involved in analyzing the situation in financial institutions. However, the auditors' report turned out to be classified. It was made in 33 copies, each with the name and position of the person to whom it was intended. The Kroll company, as the Moldovan government assured, did not consent to the publication of the report so as not to harm the investigation.
The police continued the investigation, which many citizens of the country considered too slow. In February, Moldovan law enforcement agencies conducted searches and interrogated local bankers, and Ilan Shor also gave testimony.
Then singer Jasmine pointedly canceled a concert in Chisinau, scheduled for March 5 at the National Palace. The organizers explained that the concert of Fr.
The police will check "Trust"
A criminal case has been initiated against the former management of Trust Bank, which is being rehabilitated.
The ex-employees are suspected of withdrawing the bank's assets, including for... → Citizens of Moldova, outraged by the progress of the investigation, took to the streets of Chisinau last Sunday, May 3, demanding the resignation of the country's leadership and the punishment of those responsible for the disappearance of a billion dollars from banks. The organizers claimed that they had gathered 40 thousand people.
After the popular unrest, the Chairman of the Moldovan Parliament, Andrian Candu, published a classified report on his Facebook page.
The 84-page document is marked “confidential,” but Candu noted that he is publishing the report “at his own responsibility,” since “discussions on this topic are acquiring false accents.” “As a politician, I believe that the public should have access to this document, paid for with citizens’ money, analyze it and better understand what exactly happened,” Candu said.
The report does not name specific culprits, but did reveal a scheme for siphoning off money. Analysts found that from 2012 to 2014, shareholders changed in three banks, as a result, the bank’s property ended up in the hands of “a number of individuals.” During this time, banks issued large loans, which were transferred to the accounts of offshore companies in the UK and Hong Kong. The total amount was about $1 billion (13.3 billion lei).
Ilan Shor himself stated after the publication of the report that he was studying it. “In many ways, there is what we talked about before: that the hole had formed even before the private investor arrived and we had to cover it,” Shor told the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Moldova newspaper. “The bank was robbed before private investors arrived!” - says the businessman. In March, at a press conference, he said that his work at Banca de Economii consisted solely of resuscitating the institution.
Shor places responsibility for the non-repayment of loans on the former management of the bank and, in particular, on the ex-Minister of Finance of Moldova, Veaceslav Negruta.
Ilan Shor is the CEO of Dufremol, which is a duty-free trade operator in Moldova, and the owner of several companies that he inherited from his father. He is also the owner of the Milsami football club. He was born in Tel Aviv, but his family moved to Chisinau when he was two years old.
The wedding of singer Jasmine (née Sara Manakhimova) and a Moldovan businessman took place in 2011. Before this, Jasmine was married to businessman Vyacheslav Semenduev. In 2006, my husband severely beat
singer, breaking her nose and causing a traumatic brain injury. Having recovered, the singer filed for divorce. She sued for the right to raise their common son. Jasmine met Shor at one of the social parties in Moscow. After the wedding, their daughter Margarita was born. The couple live in two cities. Shor flies from Chisinau to Moscow for the weekend.
Career and business
After 5 years of running his own business, inherited from his father, the young entrepreneur became one of the ten richest people in Moldova. He continued to engage in duty-free trade, and also received a stake in the ownership of the airport and three largest banks, which in 2020 were involved in a high-profile case of the theft of € 1 billion from the country's banking system.

Businessman and politician Ilan Shor
In the same year, Ilan began his political and administrative career, becoming the mayor of the city of Orhei, winning the 1st round with a significant percentage. By that time, he was a member of the socio-political group “Equality”, which later transformed into the “Shor” party.
The husband of singer Jasmine is in the dock for “theft of a billion” haqqin.az from Chisinau
At the same time, one cannot fail to note the visible improvements in Orhei: thanks to sponsorship, as they say, from the personal funds of Ilan Shor, roads and sidewalks were repaired, street lighting was installed and the city park was landscaped, and the singer Jasmine opened a creativity center. For Victory Day, May 9, the most magnificent festive concert was held in Orhei, where Lev Leshchenko and other celebrities of the Russian and Moldavian stage performed.
At the same time, Shor’s ill-wishers mention the current debt of the municipality, which exceeds 30 million lei, that is, about one and a half million dollars, with the city’s annual budget of 80 million (about 4 million dollars), a significant part of which is allocated to the maintenance of kindergartens. However, even on the day of the first hearing in the case of Ilan Shor, September 6, a large group of his supporters held a protest near the courthouse, chanting a demand to release the mayor and businessman.
This first hearing, as declared “on the merits of the case,” took place in arguments between lawyers and representatives of the prosecutor’s office on various procedural issues. As a result, the start of the actual proceedings was postponed to September 19, so that the defense could familiarize itself with the case materials. The details and facts that the lawyers intend to operate with are not subject to disclosure.
However, you can guess something. Obviously, the basis for the accusation will be the report of an independent American agency that conducted an audit and investigation into the “theft of the century.” The report was published before the arrest of Vlad Filat and was used in his case. Some other information can be gleaned from press publications. For example, a year ago, the leader of the right-wing “Our Party” and Shor’s colleague, the mayor of the northern Moldovan city of Balti, Renato Usatii, posted for public listening an intercepted telephone conversation between Ilan Shor and Vlad Filat.
At the same time, one of the Moldovan investigative journalistic agencies published material about how businessman Shor got hectares of forest in a protected area. The dramatic story of a major bank employee about the career path of the future banker, starting with the organization of a chain of duty-free stores in Moldova and Kyrgyzstan, was also made public. It also contained revelations of banking fraud, including the burning of a car with valuable documents. Haqqin.az talked about this in 2020.
Another sensational and scandalous deal carried out by the Moldovan government during the reign of Vlad Filat’s party was the concession of the international airport in Chisinau, respectively, the main one in the country. It also took place not without the participation of Ilan Shor, and a share in this profitable and strategic business went to a certain Russian company.
Against the background of a wave of public indignation and the continuous study of illegal aspects by special commissions, this concession, as such, is not fully implemented. However, in mid-summer, shortly after Shor’s arrest, the Russian side did not fail to remind of its rights.
With all the capabilities of the current government of Moldova, already demonstrated in the trial of Vlad Filat, and the factual materials that have become public, the levers that can influence the course of the case in favor of Shor are obvious. However, some pressure was also put on him personally: for example, in August, immediately after the businessman was transferred to house arrest, a device similar to an explosive and two grenades were found at the grave of his father, Miron Shor. Although some commentators considered this circumstance to be a game of the young millionaire.
In the meantime, on social networks, Russian pop stars started a flash mob in support of the husband of their colleague, singer Jasmine. Olga Orlova was the first to publish her photo with the hashtag “#freeShor”. Later, Philip Kirkorov, Alexander Buinov, Nikolai Baskov, other artists and ordinary users joined her. The pop diva Jasmine herself says that she is shocked by what happened, considering it injustice and a denigration of the name of her beloved spouse.
Personal life
In 2011, news about the personal life of the young billionaire spread across the media: in September, a magnificent wedding of Ilan and the Russian singer Jasmine took place at the Palace of the Republic of Moldova. Despite the age difference between the spouses (the wife is 9 years older than Shor), this union turned out to be strong and happy. Two children were born there: daughter Margarita (2012) and son Miron (2016).

Ilan Shor and Jasmine with children
The businessman helped his beloved survive a painful divorce from her first husband, from whose marriage Jasmine had a son, Mikhail, born in 1997. According to the singer, the guy and his stepfather are now connected by a strong male friendship. The woman willingly posts photos of her family members on her Instagram page, as well as photos with her beloved husband, who is slightly shorter than her.
Meeting Jasmine and Ilana
Sara (real name of the singer Jasmine) and Ilan met after a charity concert organized by the father of a young businessman, Miron Shor.
Ilan didn’t wait long - he quickly took the situation into his own hands and began to actively court the woman he liked, even though he was much younger than her - by as much as 9 years. Even the long distance did not stop him, because the singer lived in Moscow, and Ilan lived in Moldova.
Ilan did not utter words of love for a very long time, although everything was clear from his actions, and when the time came to say them, he preferred to limit himself to an SMS message in which he wrote to the singer that he loved her very much and his life without her was simply not possible. is.

After declaring his love, the businessman decided to propose marriage to his beloved woman, which was very beautiful. This happened in Paris, during a boat trip along the Seine. As the artist said, at one point, when they were sailing under the bridge, romantic music started playing and flowers fell from above at her feet. At that moment, Ilan got down on one knee in front of Sara, handed over the ring and offered to become his wife.
Family life in a luxury home
At the very beginning of the relationship, the couple continued to live in two countries, since the singer does not set herself the goal of ending her solo career and devoting herself to her family, so she is in no hurry to leave Moscow, and Ilan’s activities are completely concentrated in Moldova.
A short time after the wedding, Ilan and Jasmine bought a luxurious mansion on Rublyovka. Now the whole friendly and very large family lives in it. On weekends, there is a special emotional atmosphere, as lovers are reunited - at the end of each week, Ilan flies to Moscow. True, some problems have arisen with this recently due to a case brought against Ilan Shor, in which the businessman is prohibited from leaving the territory of Moldova until the circumstances are clarified.
