Moldovan Prosecutor General's Office considers notification on alleged deeds of state power's usurpation

Chisinau, 28 April /MOLDPRES/ -The Prosecutor General’s Office (PG) today informed that it had considered, as priority, a notification by MPs Sergiu Litvinenco and Virgiliu Paslariuc from 26 April 2021, through which they asked to examine alleged deeds of state power‘s usurpation and calling to account the guilty people, under the Criminal Law.    

A press release issued by PG reads that ‘’under the Ordinance from 28 April 2021, the Prosecutor General instructed the refusal to record the concerned notification in the register of offences and, respectively, to open a criminal file, proceeding from the following reasons: from the procedural viewpoint, the MPs’ notification does not meet the requirements of form and content specific for an act on notifying about offences, provided for in the Criminal Procedure Code. At the same time, from the viewpoint of the material law, no reasonable suspicion about the committing of the denounced offences or other offences comes from the de facto circumstances invoked by the petitioners.   

On 23 April, the lawmakers of the parliamentary majority, made up of the Party of Socialists, Shor Party and For Moldova cancelled the decision on the appointment of Mrs. Domnica Manole to the office of Constitutional Court (CCM) judge. Subsequently, the MPs voted for the candidacy of Boris Lupascu to the position of CCM judge. Lupascu took the oath in the lack of the head of state.
