The deputy head of Chisinau’s Buiucani district Vasile Mistreanu was placed under house arrest for 30 days. The decision was pronounced by the Chisinau Court based in Buiucani on April 7, IPN reports.
The deputy head’s lawyer Danu Dogotari said the prosecutors’ request was partially accepted. “We do not know all the accumulated proofs, but we are in the process of examining these. We cannot comment much yet,” stated the lawyer.
The Chisinau Court’s decision can be appealed to the Appeals Court within ten days.
Vasile Mistreanu was detained on April 6. He is suspected of asking 20,000 lei from a businessman for helping him solve a problem. The functionary said he has influence on specialists of the Buiucani district head’s office and can persuade them to authorize the setting up of a metallic fence for separating the area owned by the businessman from the public road. The functionary faces up to six years behind bars.
