The Republic of Moldova no longer has a General Prosecutor after Ion Munteanu officially became a judge of the Supreme Court of Justice. His appointment took effect on May 26, following the publication of the presidential decree in the Official Journal.
The Superior Council of Magistracy nominated Munteanu for the position after he won a public competition held for this purpose.
President Maia Sandu appointed Munteanu as General Prosecutor on June 1, 2024, based on a proposal by the Superior Council of Prosecutors.
