Agenția Informațională de Stat

Chisinau, 4 Jan. /MOLDPRES/- Pre-Vetting Commission said today it has completed the evaluation on five candidates for the position of member of the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) among career judges, and noted that they did not pass the evaluation.

The Commission members justified their decisions not to promote the evaluation by "finding serious doubts regarding the candidates' compliance with the principles of ethical and financial integrity". The commission had a common position on four of the five judges, and voted unanimously. In the case of a female judge, a member of the Commission formulated a separate opinion, which was annexed to the decision.

Up to this moment, the Pre-Vetting Commission has issued decisions regarding 13 candidates for positions in the CSM among the judges from the 23 remaining in the competition. As a result, 3 magistrates passed the Commission's evaluation under the aspect of integrity, and 10 were disqualified by not passing the evaluation and can no longer participate in the competition for the position of member of the CSM.
