A statement from the Intelligence and Security Service accuses Russians of traveling to spy on the president and other politicians ahead of general elections, which are slated for 6 March.
It also charges that the Russians had been falsely posing as human rights activists, electoral consultants, and political observers.
The Russian Foreign Ministry attacked the expulsions last week, saying that the move contradicted Moldova's pledges of a "democratic and transparent" election process and showed "clear prejudice in relation to Russian representatives."
