The progress but also the obstacles encountered in the justice act, as well as combating and counteracting acts of terrorism. These were the topics discussed at today’s meeting of the Supreme Security Council (CSS), where the president of the country demanded harsher punishments for those which admit leaking information from files as well as disciplinary and criminal sanctions for magistrates, who intentionally delay the pronouncement of decisions on certain cases.
Maia Sandu stated that the phenomenon of information leaks harms the investigation and proves that there is corruption in the investigation groups.
“Insufficient documentation on certain criminal cases can discredit the investigation. We also discussed at today’s CSS meeting the subject of the finality of the grand corruption cases. When rumors appear, followed by televised justice, then the arrest, which is delayed, and finality no longer exists, people lose hope in fair justice. The judicial system also has its effect here. We discussed the need to introduce legislative changes to prevent delays in defense cases. The General Prosecutor’s Office told us that currently 7 billion lei are being seized, but we told them that they must be confiscated, not just seized. To this end we discussed the strengthening of ARBI. We talked about the need to change the legislation on the limitation period, because judges intentionally delay some trials so that the person can no longer be convicted in the end”, said Sandu.

We specify that, since the morning, the CSS convened in session. The head of state’s briefing was planned for 1:30 p.m., but it was extended by two hours.
