Controversies
At the end of February 2015, after receiving an anonymous message with some clues, and motivated by the fact that in the official CV of Chiril Gaburici there are no academic years but only the name of the institutions, journalists from Ziarul de Gardă did an investigation about his studies. Thus, they learned that, after graduating from gymnasium, Chiril Gaburici studied at the Republican College of Microelectronics and Computer Engineering in Chisinau, although he had not indicated this in his official CV. According to the vice director of the respective institution, Gaburici studied at the CRMTC during 1992-1995 and was expelled, and that he had attended the baccalaureate session but was not awarded the BAC diploma. According to the same investigation, in 2009-2011, being already director at Moldcell, at the age of 33, Gaburici has obtained his master's degree at the Free International University of Moldova. He subsequently completed doctoral studies at the University of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, based on a contract. He was enrolled at UASM in 2011 at non-frequency studies, followed a 4-year study, and 2015 was his final year of studies. In an official response of the Government of the Republic of Moldova to the request for clarification of the situation, it is said that Gaburici was admitted to ASEM in 1995, and in 1998 he transferred to the Slavonic University.
