The hearing in the case of former Prime Minister Vlad Filat scheduled for March 9 was proponed. Press officer of the Prosecutor General’s Office Maria Vieru has told IPN that the accused filed an application and asked to put off the hearing on health grounds.
The next hearing was set for March 10, 2pm.
In the last hearing of March 2, five MPs of the Liberal Democratic Party asked to transfer Vlad Filat from remand detention under house arrest under their guarantee. The court rejected their request, describing it as unfounded.
Vlad Filat was arrested on charges of influence peddling and passive corruption last October. He faces 7 to 15 years behind bars.
