The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) found Moldova guilty in four more cases, obliging the Government to pay EUR 22,000 for damages. In the case of “Cebotari vs. Moldova”, Mihai Cebotari, the former head of the state-owned power distribution company Moldtranselectrica, was charged with large-scale embezzlement of public property and remanded in custody for three months until November 2006, when he was released on bail. He complained that his arrest was illegal and that throughout his detention it was impossible to have confidential meetings with his lawyer. The Court held that there had been violations of Article 5 (right to liberty and security), Article 18 (limitation on use of restrictions on rights), and Article 34 (right of petition) of the European Convention. Cebotari was awarded EUR 10,000 for non-pecuniary damage and EUR 2,500 for costs and expenses. In the case of “Dolneanu vs. Moldova”, the 77-year-old Petru Dolneanu, complained of the late payment of the compensation for the money deposited in the state-owned Savings Bank of Moldova. Dolneanu was awarded EUR 4,100, based on Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) and Article 13 (right to an effective remedy). In the third case, the plaintiff Alexandra Becciu complained about the excessive length of proceedings. In 1999 her apartment was burgled. The police caught the burglars and recovered most of the stolen goods, which were deposited at the police station as evidence. Later, the goods were stolen from the police station. A domestic court ordered the Interior Ministry to pay her the equivalent of the stolen goods, but it took the Ministry two years to execute the judgment. The Court obliged the State to pay the plaintiff more than 4,700 euros. In the case of “Gusovschi vs. Moldova” the Court found Moldova guilty of violating Art. 6 (right to a fair trial). The plaintiffs initiated court proceedings in 1999 against Moldova-Gaz seeking re-connection of their house to the gas system. The lawsuit lasted for about five years.
