30 de judecători „incompatibili”? Ce spune Codul despre strămutarea dosarului de la Craiova

The Romanian Attorney General, Cristina Chiriac, requested the transfer of a sensitive case from the Craiova Court of Appeal, citing concerns over the impartiality of the judge. However, legal standards require a reasonable suspicion of collective bias among all judges in the section, not just one. The High Court of Cassation and Justice agreed to the transfer, which occurred just before the Craiova court could rule on a referral to the European Court of Justice regarding the special section investigating judicial crimes. The case involves a corruption complaint against magistrates, and the Attorney General's intervention was necessary as the local prosecutor's office did not file for the transfer. The situation has raised questions about judicial independence and the handling of cases involving judges.
