The former mayor of Bolduresti, Nicanor Ciochina, was sentenced to 7 years in prison for fatally hitting a 14-year-old teenager and leaving the scene of the crime. He later allegedly tried to stage another accident to avoid criminal liability. The sentence was pronounced in the defendant’s absence by the judges of the Chisinau Court, Buiucani headquarters, reports IPN.<\/p>\n\n
Throughout the process, Nicanor Ciochina maintained his innocence, claiming that the case was built on political interests. However, the victim’s family considers him responsible and has asked the court to deliver a fair sentence.<\/p>\n\n
The former mayor is also under investigation in another criminal case for alleged acts of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, accusations he denies.<\/p>\n\n
At the end of January, Nicanor Ciochina was detained in the case regarding torture, immediately after he participated in a meeting related to the traffic accident case, at that time being under judicial control, and was subsequently placed in preventive detention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
