Suspected sockpuppets

User:AndreiMoldovanNew submitted recently a draft article about Romanian singer Draft:Claudiu Dumitrache and he disclosed on his user page that he has been paid by Claudiu Dumitrache Group for his contributions to Wikipedia. On ro.wikipedia, the corresponding article has been deleted several times for lack of notability and the account AndreiMoldovanNew is currently blocked for indefinite duration (since September 2019), as one of the many sockpuppets who promoted aggressively this subject. The new account Sapio7 registered on April 29 and recreated the same article, despite a warning concerning the possible COI left on his talk page. We have very strong reasons to believe that this represents an attempt to evade the block, but a checkuser cannot be performed on ro.wikipedia, because the blocked sockmaster has no recent contributions and hence the account is stale. On en.wikipedia, Sapio7 resubmitted the draft as a different user (after some minor changes made by 193.142.223.173) without disclosing that he was the same paid contributor as before. Checkuser could help us to establish a clear relation between the two accounts and take the necessary measures, if any. Since this sockmaster is particularly insistent, there might be other sleepers or active accounts connected with this group (see also CU archives on meta: m:Steward requests/Checkuser/2019-07 and m:Steward requests/Checkuser/2019-09).
