The government has approved the resignation of the director of the National Probation Inspectorate, Viorel Sochirca. The decision was made based on his request, following the tragic case in Magdacesti, Criuleni district, where a man under electronic surveillance killed his wife, reports IPN.
According to the executive decision, the interim position will be ensured by Gheorghe Aghenie, the head of the Electronic Monitoring Directorate.
The resignation comes after the tragedy at Magdacesti, which revealed deficiencies in the monitoring and protection system for victims of violence. The Minister of Justice, Vladislav Cojuhari, acknowledged that the electronic bracelet did not ensure the victim’s protection, and the authorities did not intervene effectively to prevent the tragedy.
In the same meeting, the Government also approved the resignation request of the director of “Moldsilva”, Nicolae Munteanu, appointed to the position at the end of January 2026. The interim will be ensured by the deputy director of the institution, Iulian Mamai.
