The Integrity Council of the National Integrity Authority on October 23 rejected the applications of the ex-candidates for the post of NIA president Teodor Carnat and Victor Stratila to be allowed to take again the polygraph test.
Contacted by IPN, Council member Sergiu Ostaf, who chaired the meeting, said the applications were rejected because the law does not envision the rerun of the polygraph test. Teodor Carnat and Victor Stratila can initiate the individual procedure for challenging in court the Council’s decision and can eventually ask to organize a new polygraph test.
In the October 23 meeting of the Council, the files of two candidates for the post of NIA president were accepted. These were submitted by Francisco Talmaci, acting division head at the Ministry of Finance, and Lilian Chisca, division head at the NIA. The two will sit the written test next week.
