The suspended chief of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office Viorel Morari will stay under arrest for another 20 days. The Ciocana branch of the Chisinau City Court partially accepted the prosecutor’s request to extend the remand detention, IPN reports.

The prosecutors asked to extend the warrant for his arrest for another 30 days, but the judge ordered only 20 days more in remand detention.

Earlier this week, Viorel Morari was indicted on three counts. Besides the two counts formulated earlier – abuse of power and falsification of public documents, he was also charged with interference in prosecution.

Viorel Morari was arrested on January 10. He is held on remand at Penitentiary No. 13. He pleads not guilty.
