Chiril Lucinschi is the President of directors board of "AnaliticMedia-Grup" S.A., and is owner of two TV channels – TV8[4] and ТНТ Bravo – Moldova.[5]

On 22 February 2017 Chiril Lucinschi announced that he is dropping his MP mandate and leaves the Liberal Democratic Party.[6]

On 25 May 2017 Chiril Lucinschi was retained by Anti-Corruption prosecutors being suspected of involvement in the $1 billion Moldovan bank fraud. He stated then that he is not guilty.[7] On 27 May Lucinschi was placed under home arrest for 30 days,[8] this term being prolonged for another 30 days on 24 June,[9] and one more time on 20 July.[10] On 1 August 2017 the Anti-Corruption Prosecution Office has completed the criminal investigation and filed the Lucinschi case to trial.[11][12] According to the Prosecution Office press-release, a company which Lucinschi is a beneficiary of, got a loan of 5 million lei from the later-failed Moldovan bank "Unibank" in 2013, and then transferred $401,650 to a company group out of the country, and finally, to the accounts of Rouseau Alliance LP, which consequently pays back the loan to later-failed "Banca de Economii" (BEM). Moreover, during 2012–2014, several off-shore companies transferred some $440,000 to IPA International Project Agency. It was reportedly proven later that the funds originate from the fraudulent loans from BEM, Unibank and Banca Socială through off-shore firms. According to the prosecutors Lucinschi risks up to 10 years of imprisonment for alleged money laundering and not declaring ownership.[13][12]
