The preventive detention measure for former MP Constantin Tutu has been extended by another 30 days. The information was confirmed to IPN by Violina Moraru, the spokesperson for the General Prosecutor’s Office.

A statement issued by PCCOCS mentions that the Chisinau Court had previously rejected the request for extension, proposing house arrest, but the decision was challenged.

Prosecutors allege that in September-October 2025, the defendant illegally crossed the border into Ukraine and promised over 14,000 lei to a border guard at the Vulcanesti–Vinogradovca checkpoint. He was detained at the border, and the amount allegedly offered as a bribe was found on him.

The PCCOCS is continuing its investigations, in accordance with procedural guarantees and the presumption of innocence.

Constantin Țuțu was detained on the evening of October 2 at the border in Vulcanesti, after allegedly arriving from Ukraine. He had previously entered the Transnistrian region illegally via Ukraine, despite being banned from leaving Greece, a measure imposed after his detention on July 22 at Athens Airport, alongside Vlad Plahotniuc.

Andy Burnham is the new leader of the Labour Party and will become the Prime Minister of Great Britain

by Bolohan Maxim 17.07.2026

Parliamentarian Andy Burnham has officially been elected the new leader of the Labour Party and is set to take over as Prime Minister of Great Britain from Monday, July 20, reports IPN.

Andy Burnham took over the leadership of the party on Friday after receiving 379 nominations from the 403 Labour MPs. He will become Prime Minister on Monday, when the resigning Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, will present his resignation to King Charles III at Buckingham Palace. Subsequently, the sovereign will invite Andy Burnham to form a new Government.

The new leader of the governing party has outlined several fundamental commitments for his term, among which are the consolidation of party unity, the promotion of a new policy focused on addressing neglected issues, and the decentralization of power through the transfer of authority from Westminster to local communities.

According to British legislation, the leader of the governing party automatically becomes the Prime Minister. Moreover, Andy Burnham is the seventh Prime Minister in the last 10 years, a period during which 3 parliamentary elections have been organized.

Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as the leader of the Labour Party and, consequently, as Prime Minister, on June 22, amid the loss of political support within the party and criticisms regarding his leadership. He has led the British Government since the last general elections, in July 2024.
