The persons who conducted the investigation into the death of soldier Ion Anusca must be held responsible for the disappearance of proofs, lawyer Igor Turcanu said in a news conference organized by the Association of Christian-Democrat Jurists, who won the first case at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), Info-Prim Neo reports. According to Turcanu, the soldier was found dead, lying under a tree with a broken cord around his neck behind the barracks in October 2004, 26 days before demobilization. The investigation lasted for three years and seven months, being closed and reopened for several times. Suicide was the main version examined by the Military Prosecutor's Office. The soldier's mother Liuba Anusca complained to the ECHR, saying her son did not have reasons for killing himself. On May 18, the Court passed its judgment in the case of Anusca v. Moldova, holding that there had been a violation of Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights (right to life) in its procedural aspect. The applicant complaint that her son's death was investigated inefficiently and that her right to become acquainted with the contents of the file was violated. Ion Turcanu said some of the pictures of the place where the young man was found dead disappeared, but no person involved in the investigation of the case was held accountable. For his part, jurist Radu Busila said the prosecutor who investigated the case might have been bribed as the disappearance of the pictures of Ion Anusca's body cannot be explained otherwise. He considers the Prosecutor General's Office should have also pronounced on this case. The Court awarded the applicant Liuba Anusca €8,000 in respect of non-pecuniary damage.
