A new acting chief prosecutor was named at the Prosecutor’s Office of ATU Gagauzia. This is Vasile Stoinov, who took up his duties on November 2. An order to this effect was signed by caretaker Prosecutor General Dumitru Robu on November 1.
Contacted by IPN for details, prosecutor Mariana Cherpec, who is in charge of press relations at the Prosecutor General’s Office, said that under the law on the prosecution service, the appointment order is to be accepted or rejected in the first meeting of the Superior Council of Prosecutors.
“The move was aimed at ensuring the functionality of this structural subdivision, given that the post was vacant. The post will be held on an interim basis until a chief prosecutor is chosen at a contest,” stated Mariana Cherpec.
So far the post of acting chief prosecutor of the Prosecutor’s Office of ATU Gagauzia was held by prosecutor Victor Cîlcic. He was named to this post in June 2020, by order of Prosecutor General Alexandr Stoianoglo, who is currently suspended.
