The prosecutor accused in the $400,000 bribery case has been released from house arrest and placed under judicial control for 30 days. The decision of the Chisinau Court, Ciocana headquarters, was upheld by the Central Court of Appeal, which rejected the appeal of the state prosecutors, reports IPN.

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has contested the decision of the first instance, which rejected the extension of house arrest and ordered the replacement of the preventive measure with judicial control. However, the Central Court of Appeal left the decision in force.

The file was made public at the end of March, when the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, in conjunction with the National Anti-Corruption Center and the National Investigation Inspectorate, detained a prosecutor and four police employees, investigated for passive corruption. According to law enforcement, the suspects allegedly asked for 400 thousand dollars to influence the resolution of a money laundering case in favor of certain individuals. As part of the case documentation, a portion of the alleged sum would have been transferred under the control of the investigative bodies.

Following the searches and hearings conducted then, two of the detained police officers were released, while the prosecutor, two other police officers, and the person previously detained remained in the custody of the law enforcement agencies.

by Iana Josu 31.07.2026

Almost a month after the Ministry of Health announced the closure of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Ștefan Vodă District Hospital, citing a reduced number of births, the institution has suspended the order to cease operations. Thus, in the next two months, the hospital’s capacity will be reassessed, and births will continue to be directed to the Causeni District Hospital. Emergencies and gynecological conditions will be treated at Stefan Voda, reports IPN.

The Ministry of Health specifies that, during the reassessment period, the available human resources, on-call lines, operating block capacity, anesthesia and intensive care services, neonatology and the institution’s equipment will be analyzed.

In the case of patients with obstetric emergencies who will present themselves at the Stefan Voda District Hospital, the doctors will provide the necessary assistance for stabilization, after which they will be safely transferred to the Causeni District Hospital.

Authorities maintain that the decision to suspend the order was taken after consulting the concerns expressed by the district residents, local authorities and medical staff. A final decision on the department’s activity will be taken after the completion of the reassessment, depending on its results and the medical safety criteria.
