BREAKING | Claudiu Sandu, procuror CSM: „Practic, ne-am întors înainte de 1989. Secția pentru procurori a CSM a respins sesizarea Inspecției Judiciare în cazul procurorului general care a cerut strămutarea unui dosar de la Curtea de Apel Craiova

The CSM's Prosecutors' Section rejected a request from General Prosecutor Cristina Chiriac to transfer a case from the Craiova Court of Appeal. This decision is seen as setting a dangerous precedent, allowing the General Prosecutor to intervene in any ongoing case. Claudiu Sandu, a CSM prosecutor, criticized the General Prosecutor's actions as undermining judicial independence and warned that this could lead to arbitrary interventions in legal matters. The case in question involves a judge's referral to the EU Court regarding the compatibility of a mechanism for investigating magistrates' crimes. The CSM's decision raises concerns about the erosion of prosecutorial independence in Romania.
