Lawyer Ilie Rotaru, candidate for MP in electoral district no.50, mentions that the situation in the justice system is disastrous. As a parliamentarian, Ilie Rotaru intends to set up a commission of inquiry to verify the activity of judges and prosecutors over the last ten years, and as a result the compromised persons will be removed from the system.
At an IPN press conference, the lawyer referred to the extraordinary meeting of the General Assembly of Judges, which took place on September 27. Ilie Rotaru says he was there and saw that there weren’t many judges in the room. Although it has been announced that there was no quorum, in the afternoon the meeting was declared deliberative and the dismissal of the members of the Superior Council of Magistracy(CSM) was voted. In his opinion, there are no more than 150 seats in the Assembly room. "There could not have been 200 judges at the moment of voting. When were there 202 judges? At what time? Who documented this moment? Who reported it in the minutes? How were the votes counted?” asks Ilie Rotaru.
According to the lawyer, even though 202 judges attended the General Assembly of Judges, they were out of office for more than four hours. In this regard, the lawyer specifies he has filed a request with the CSM, demanding that the judges who attended the Assembly be dismissed in connection with their absence from work. "There are legal prerequisites for dismissing everyone. And the current government should not say that it can do nothing with disobedient prosecutors and judges," noted Ilie Rotaru. The lawyer has also said that "most of the judges who attended the Assembly were those who executed the orders of Voronin and Plahotniuc and they no longer deserve to be in the position of judge”.
The candidate for MP position contends that it is "very easy to establish the illegalities committed by judges and prosecutors, because their activity is strictly documented". "One doesn't need anything else to make a conclusion about the illegalities they committed when investigating concrete cases and, of course, about the illegal sentences they pronounced, obeying the requests of prosecutors, politicians and so on," says Ilie Rotaru.
The candidate in the snap parliamentary elections in uninominal constituency no. 50 argues that the first item in his electoral program concerns actions that will lead to "the initiation of a criminal case against Vladimir Plahotniuc and Vladimir Voronin, as well as their accomplices, for the set up and management of a criminal organization".
In other news, Ilie Rotaru stated that he would submit his file to the candidates' pre-selection for the position of Prosecutor General, announced on Monday by the Ministry of Justice. He says that if he is not accepted in the competition, he will go to court.
