Olesea Banari

Olesea Banari, in 2019, acquired the Unimedia portal through her company Miraza LLC  from journalist Cristian Jardan, becoming its sole owner and editor-in-chief. Building on Unimedia's success, she launched UNInterviu in 2020, a video interview series featuring prominent public figures and politicians.

Between 2014-2015 she was the editor of "Mame de succes/Odoraș" Magazine, between 2009-2011 she was editor-in-chief of the website Știreazilei.md, which no longer exists. Between 2005-2009 she was a political reporter at the ProTV Chisinau television station, and between 2003-2005 she was a reporter at the Basa-press press agency, which no longer exists today.

Her husband, businessman Sergiu Banari, has a colourful political past. He served as a municipal councillor in Bălți for the Social Democratic Party from 2007 to 2011, during which time he organised several anti-Communist demonstrations. In 2007, he ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Bălți. After leaving the Social Democratic Party in September 2008, he became a leader of the "Friends of Russia in Moldova" organisation, led by former Prime Minister Vasile Tarlev. His final political venture came in 2010 when he ran as an independent candidate in the parliamentary elections, securing just 0.04% of the vote.

Following his retirement from politics in 2011, Sergiu established a polygraph testing service company. Around the same time, Olesea (then Bolboceanu) founded Onlinemedia LLC, a similar company offering polygraph testing services to politicians and state officials. She works as both administrator and founder of the company.

Currently, Sergiu Banari owns Millenium Gold Standard, a jewellery manufacturing company in Bălți, operating through B&B Jewelry Group LLC. He made headlines in 2021 with an unusual promotional stunt when he threw jewellery into a crowd at one of his Chișinău stores. More recently, he has gained attention on TikTok, where, according to a TV8 investigation, he promotes Russian narratives.
