The Evaluation Commission of Prosecutors has concluded the hearings dedicated to the leadership of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, part of the extraordinary external evaluation process. The last one to be heard was Victor Muntean, interim deputy of the chief prosecutor, on the same day as Gheorghe Caragia, an employee of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, reports IPN.
The hearings have provided the evaluators with the opportunity to directly discuss with the prosecutors and to clarify any ambiguities regarding their activity and integrity, according to a press release issued by the Commission. After the hearings, the Commission has up to 30 working days to prepare a reasoned report on the promotion or non-promotion of the evaluation. The final decision is made by the Superior Council of Prosecutors, after examining the report.
Victor Muntean stated that “the external evaluation is a new and complex procedure.”
As with the other prosecutors, the video recordings of the hearings of Victor Muntean and Gheorghe Caragia have been made public.
Previously, in June, the other members of the institution’s leadership were also heard – interim chief prosecutor Marcel Dumbrăvan and interim deputies Octavian Iachimovschi and Mariana Leahu.
