Judge Costin Andrei Stancu has resigned from his position at the Pitești Court of Appeal following disciplinary actions by the Superior Council of Magistracy. He announced his resignation and requested a transfer to the civil section, citing concerns over the treatment of judges handling cases involving politicians. Stancu and another judge were sanctioned for misconduct related to the imprisonment of former Finance Minister Daniel Chițoiu. The disciplinary decision indicated that both judges acted in bad faith, with Stancu's salary reduced by 10% for a year. He expressed his belief that the message from higher authorities was clear: judges should avoid prosecuting politicians.
