The chief prosecutor of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, Veronica Dragalin, has been left without state security. The information was confirmed for TV8 by the institution's press service, IPN reports.
Veronica Dragalin was informed about this on November 15, and the next day her guard was removed. Representatives of the Prosecutor's Office told TV8 that Dragalin did not receive an explanation for the decision.
According to the legislation in force, the President of the Republic of Moldova may grant state protection to a person at the written request of the interested institutions or on his own initiative, if a state of danger is established or if there is information about the organization of actions that would threaten the life, physical integrity, freedom of action and health of the person.
The head of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office had state security since July last year. Dragalin said at the time that she requested security because she felt threatened. "Lately, I didn't feel so safe to get into a taxi, an unfamiliar car in which people recognize me, that was one of the reasons why I considered it necessary to have state security", the chief prosecutor of the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office said in an interview.
