The Association for the Protection of Civil Rights “Adjuta Cives” warns the Moldovan authorities, the embassies working in Moldova and civil society about the danger of the law enforcement bodies being involved in acts of corruption and protection of criminal persons working in the internal affairs bodies. It calls on the authorities to immediately dismiss the functionaries engaged in illegalities, Info-Prim Neo reports. In a news conference on April 18, Alexandru Procop, deputy head of the public anticorruption committee of “Adjuta Cives”, said that the message is addressed especially to the President of Moldova Nicolae Timofti, Head of Parliament Marian Lupu, and Prime Minister Vlad Filat. Procop referred to presidential adviser Vasile Sturza. According to him, three criminal cases were fabricated by order of Vasile Sturza at the Orhei Prosecutor’s Office in 2002. The cases were closed in 10 years. Members of “Adjuta Cives” filed a complaint to the Prosecutor General’s Office, asking holding accountable the persons who fabricated these cases, but nothing happened. Alexandru Procop also said that early in April, a prosecutor from Orhei asked for money from a person for helping him avoid criminal punishment, but the Prosecutor General’s Office says nothing about this case. According to Procop, the courts are affected by traffic of influence. Multiple decisions are passed illegally by judges of the Chisinau Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Justice because the judges are relatives. The head of “Adjuta Cives” Andrei Luchian said that persons with a criminal record work in the internal affairs bodies. He gave as example a person who committed a theft and was convicted, but now holds the post of senior inspector at the Frauds Division of the Ministry of the Interior, being protected by an MP, who is his godfather. He stressed that when the government changed, there was hope that the situation in the justice system and the law enforcement bodies will change, but things remained unchanged.
