Amnesty could be prepared for the ex-president of the Administration Board of Banca de Economii Ilan Shor, who was sentenced to seven years and a half in jail, Andrei Donica, chairman of the Association for the Prevention and Combating of Economic Crime and Corruption, stated in the program “Expertise hour” on Jurnal TV channel, IPN reports.
Andrei Donica said the April 2 hearing in the case of Ilan Shor was adjourned until May 23. Since May 23, there will be another 13 months during which Ilan Shor can be yet convicted. When this period expires, Shor will no longer stay in jail. “A number of schemes were designed to help him escape jail. The biggest problem in this trial is the fact that the decision was taken by a judge would should have mandatorily pulled out. Andrei Neculce didn’t have the right to try the case of Ilan Shor,” stated Andrei Donica.
Lawyer Eduard Rudenco said that as far as he knows, the main case based on which Ilan Shor was arrested hasn’t reached the court. According to him, there were chosen a number of proofs and merged into one case that was sent to court. “So, that case about the theft of the US$ 1 billion, concerning the crimes committed by Ilan Shor, which were also mentioned by Kroll, hasn’t yet been sent to court,” he stated.
According to Liberal-Democratic MP Iurie Tap, the Prosecutor General’s Office considers the judgment passed by the ordinary court in the case of Shor is evidently illegal. “When a competent authority of the state like the Prosecutor General’s Office in its annual report says the ruling in the case of Shor is evidently illegal, this is more than discussions behind the curtains,” he noted, adding this shows that the case of Shor is protected or justice is circumstantial.
