The Superior Council of Prosecutors (SCP) put off the examination of the files of candidates for the position of head of the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) due to the lack of a number of advisory opinions of controlling institutions, IPN reports.
“Following debates, it was decided to postpone once the meeting for examining the admissibility of files and to call on the state controlling authorities to submit the opinions by the requested time limit,” SCP chairman Dumitru Obada said after deliberations.
The position of prosecutor general remained vacant after Alexandru Stoianoglo was dismissed from office in September 2023. The candidates who applied for the post are: jurist Andrei Coca, lawyers Ilie Rotaru and Sergey Perju, prosecutor Igor Demchuchin, deputy chief prosecutor of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office Octavian Yakimovski, and current interim prosecutor general Ion Munteanu.
