A judge sanctioned by the CSM after sentencing former minister Daniel Chițoiu announced his resignation from the leadership of the Pitești Court of Appeal. Judge Costin Andrei Stancu cited a clear message from the CSM discouraging judges from prosecuting politicians. He plans to appeal the disciplinary decision, arguing that the conflict with the defense lawyers occurred at a lower court, not at the appellate level. The CSM's decision to sanction only two judges has raised questions about the fairness of the disciplinary process, given that other judicial actors involved did not face similar consequences.
