Gheorghe Munteanu, the driver who was involved in a road accident together with prosecutor Iurie Garaba, was put under arrest for 20 days without reason, said lawyer Vitalie Taulean, who is an expert in criminal law. In a news conference at IPN, the expert said that according to his information, the criminal case against Munteanu, for hooliganism, was started by order. He considers that prosecutor Iurie Garaba is trying to manipulate the public opinion.
Vitalie Taulean, who was invited to pronounce on this case, wondered why Iurie Garaba is not the subject of the criminal case started if there was a conflict between two persons following the traffic accident in which they were involved. The arrest is applied in case of serious and very serious offenses, but this case does not form part of such crimes.
The leader of the Movement “Antimafie” Sergiu Mocanu, who made public the accident, said the prosecutors lie and try to put the blame for an offense committed by prosecutor Iurie Garaba on another person. As to the prosecutor who manages this case, Eugen Bordos, the politician said he is suspected of acts of corruption, forging of official documents and other offenses.
Sergiu Mocanu told the journalists that they will inform the international organizations so as to show that prosecutor Garaba didn’t have his nose fractured, as the prosecutors asserted. He believes that the doctors who diagnosed the prosecutor acted in collusion with those who present Iurie Garaba as a victim.
Andrei Pituscan, who was in the same car with Munteanu and another colleague when the accident happened, said that Munteanu was threatened with death by the prosecutor’s friends who came to the place of the accident.
As a result of an insignificant collision between two cars on July 30, the drivers got into a fight. The chairman of the Supreme Council of Magistrates Iurie Garaba was taken to the hospital, while Gheorghe Munteanu was arrested. The young men who were in Munteanu’s car said it was the prosecutor who initiated the altercation.
