Lawyer Vitalie Taulean stated that the Prosecutor General’s Office fabricated a criminal case against him over hooliganism. According to him, by this case the prosecutors want to take revenge on him because he made public a number of illegalities involving them.

In a news conference at IPN on December 4, the lawyer said that initially they carried out inspections at the lyceum of Bubuieci commune of Chisinau municipality, where his wife works as director. The inspections, which lasted for about three months, were started based on a complaint that decision makers of the school appropriate funds. No violation was ultimately found at the lyceum.

“They planned these inspections at the Theoretical Lyceum “Toader Bubuiog” not in order to take legal action against my wife, but with the aim of searching my home and see in my documents what information I possess about the criminals from the Prosecutor General’s Office,” stated the lawyer.

Vitalie Taulean also said that on October 17, he went to the Prosecutor’s Office as a lawyer for two employees of the lyceum, who were summoned to go there. He was ill-traded there by the prosecutor dealing with this case, being pushed and driven out of the office. He went to the deputy prosecutor general, who refused yet to listen to him. The police started a criminal case over hooliganism against him. The prosecutors broke the law when they banned the defense from being present at the hearing and issued not even a document by which he would be banned from attending them.

Vitalie Taulean considers the prosecutors exceeded their authority and thus called on Prosecutor General Corneliu Gurin to examine this case.
