Political analyst Anatol Țăranu suggests establishing in Moldova an Anti-Mafia Tribunal as a model of extraordinary measure in the fight against the mafia, undertaken from other democracies. The tribunal is to have cases of grand corruption and also corruption in the judiciary and the prosecution service under its exclusive custody, IPN reports, quoting the analyst’s Facebook posting.
According to Anatol Țăranu, the Tribunal will consist of a large number of prosecutors and judges with an irreproachable reputation, upright judges, with extraordinary powers stipulated in the special law, functioning outside the prosecution service and the judicial system existing at present. The Tribunal members will benefit by law from special remuneration, state guard and other safety measures in relation to them and their families, special privileges on retirement.
The analyst formulated such a proposal in connection with the future Parliament debates on candidate for Prime Minister Nataliei Gavriliță and her government program.
“The government program stipulates the commitment to propose to Parliament, as a top priority, an organic draft law about the creation of the National Anticorruption Tribunal. The Government assumes governmental responsibility for this bill. If Parliament does not vote for the Gavriliță Government and does not accept the law on the National Anticorruption Tribunal, President Maia Sandu and the MPs of the anticorruption block from Parliament initiate urgently a legislative referendum on this law. The predictable result of the referendum will also be a categorical vote of censure against the current Parliament and will naturally trigger snap parliamentary elections, ensuring with great probability the victory of the anti-oligarchic forces in these elections,” stated Anatol Țăranu.
Posted on January 31, the proposal aroused heated discussions. In particular, ex-minister of defense Valeriu Troienco, general-major of justice, supported the idea: “A good proposal that can solve our situation. Italy did something similar in the fight against “Coza-Nostra” and won...If you do nothing, you get nothing...”
