Suspended prosecutor general Alexandr Stoianoglo will remain under judicial control for another 30 days. The decision was taken by the Ciocana Court of Chisinau, IPN reports.

According to the prosecutor in charge of the case Victor Furtună, the judges examined his request to extend the preventive measure in the form of judicial control against Alexandr Stoianoglo for a period of 60 days and accepted to extend it for only 30 days.

He noted he will appeal the decision to the Chisinau Appeals Court during three days.

Stoianoglo was released from house arrest and placed under judicial control, which is a form of bail, for a period of 30 days on December 9. He was put under house arrest on October 8. Last December, prosecutors announced they were ready to arraign Stoianoglo on the abuse of authority charge. In particular, Stoianoglo is accused of authorizing a retirement allowance of 163,900 lei for a prosecutor subjected to a criminal investigation, which is against the law.

The suspended Prosecutor General also faces charges of passive corruption, perjury and helping a criminal group. Stoianoglo intends to plead not guilty on all counts.
