Belgian Financial Sanctions,

Function: former Governor of the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Evghenia Guțul is the former Governor (Bashkan) of the Autonomous Territorial Unit (ATU) of Gagauzia in the Republic of Moldova. She previously worked for Ilan Shor’s political party “SHOR” (“ȘOR”), which is now banned, and was involved in its illegal financing. She has proposed several of Shor’s associates to fill positions in Gagauzia’s Executive Committee, despite the fact that those individuals lack ties to Gagauzia. Since her detention in March 2025, her deputy, Ilia Uzun has been acting Bashkan of ATU Gagauzia, and has been publicly declaring that all matters pertaining to the functioning of the Executive Committee are being coordinated with Evghenia Guțul through her lawyers, even though the law of the Republic of Moldova does not provide for procedures that would allow matters to be coordinated with a former Bashkan once she is no longer performing her duties. By promoting separatism in ATU Gagauzia and close ties to the Russian Federation, Evghenia Guțul is attempting to overthrow the constitutional order, thereby threatening the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova, and democracy, stability and security in the Republic of Moldova. Despite lacking the constitutional competence to do so, as Governor she engaged in a formal visit to the Russian Federation and met Russian President Vladimir Putin. She asked Putin for and received assurance of Russia’s support to Gagauzia’s rights, authority and positions.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Evghenia Guțul est l’ancien gouverneur (Bashkan) de l’unité territoriale autonome de Gagaouzie en République de Moldavie. Elle travaillait auparavant pour le parti politique d’Ilan Shor, “SHOR” (“ȘOR”), qui est désormais interdit, et a participé à son financement illégal. Elle a proposé à plusieurs associés de Shor d’occuper des fonctions au sein du comité exécutif de Gagaouzie, même si ces personnes n’avaient pas de liens avec la Gagaouzie. En dépit du fait qu’elle ne disposait pas de la compétence constitutionnelle pour le faire, en tant que gouverneur elle a effectué une visite officielle en Fédération de Russie et y a rencontré le président russe Vladimir Poutine. Elle a demandé à Poutine le soutien de la Russie pour les droits, l’autorité et les positions de la Gagaouzie, et a reçu des assurances en ce sens. Depuis qu’Evghenia Guțul a été placée en détention en mars 2025, son adjoint, Ilia Uzun, exerce la fonction de Bashkan de l’unité territoriale autonome de Gagaouzie par intérim et déclare publiquement que toutes les questions ayant trait au fonctionnement du comité exécutif sont coordonnées avec Evghenia Guțul par l’intermédiaire de ses avocats, alors même que le droit de la République de Moldavie ne prévoit pas de procédure permettant de coordonner les décisions avec un ancien Bashkan une fois qu’il n’exerce plus ses fonctions. En promouvant le séparatisme au sein de l’unité territoriale autonome de Gagaouzie et des liens étroits avec la Fédération de Russie, Evghenia Guțul tente de renverser l’ordre constitutionnel, menaçant ainsi la souveraineté et l’indépendance de la République de Moldavie, ainsi que la démocratie, la stabilité et la sécurité dans le pays.
