New hearings in prosecutors' evaluation process in Moldova: four sessions scheduled for late April

The Prosecutors’ Evaluation Commission announces the resumption of hearings within the vetting process, with the participation of prosecutors from the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office (PA). Four sessions are scheduled in Chisinau for April 21–23.

According to the Commission, the first hearing will take place on April 21, in a closed session, when the case of the prosecutor delegated to the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, Stanislav Odajiu, will be examined.

On April 22, two hearings are planned: at 16:00, anticorruption prosecutor Iulian Diaconu will be heard, and at 16:30 prosecutor Vasile Plevan will be re-evaluated at a closed session.

Plevan’s case is a special one, after in early 2026 the Commission proposed that he fails to pass the external evaluation, because of the non-compliance with ethical and financial integrity criteria. Subsequently, the Superior Council of Prosecutors rejected the report and ordered the resumption of the evaluation procedure.

The round of hearings will continue on April 23, when Ion Pripa, deputy chief prosecutor of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, will be heard. This stage marks the completion of the evaluation of the institution’s new leadership, appointed in November 2025.

The hearings will take place at the National Justice Institute, and all sessions will be recorded, with the recordings due to be published within no more than three days.
