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 move, stating it undermines judicial independence and could lead to arbitrary actions by the General Prosecutor. The case in question involves a judge's referral to the EU Court regarding the compatibility of a mechanism for investigating magistrates' crimes. The High Court had previously approved the transfer of the case to Bucharest, raising concerns about the implications for prosecutorial authority and judicial integrity.
