Veaceslav Platon (born 24 January 1973 in Căușeni) is a Moldovan businessman,[4] former member of Parliament of Moldova[5] from 2009[6] to 2010.[7]

Platon is one of the wealthiest people in Moldova,[8] with businesses in the field of sugar and banking in Moldova, and of atomic energy in Ukraine. In 1994 Platon became vicepresident of administration board of Moldovan private bank Moldindconbank, and later - vicepresident of the board of another Moldovan bank - Investprivatbank. In 1998 he was elected as member of the Municipal Counsil of Chișinău on lists of the electoral bloc of agrarians.[9]

He was accused of economic crimes,[10][8][11][12][13] and was nicknamed "the raider No. 1 in the CIS".[14][15][16][17]

He also holds Russian citizenship.[9]

Platon is the alleged architect of the Russian Laundromat, a scheme to move $20–80 billion out of Russia from 2010 to 2014 through a network of global banks, many of them in Moldova and Latvia.[18]

On 20 April 2017 Platon was sentenced to 18 years of prison.[19][20]
