SCJ TO CONSIDER DEMAND ON VALIDATING CHISINAU MAYORAL ELECTION RESULT IN AFTERNOON

25 june, 2018

The Superior Court of Justice (SCJ) will consider the request on recognizing the results of Chisinau mayoral elections and the appeal of Andrei Nastase lawyers against the Appeals Chamber's decision in this regard in the second half of the day on Monday.

According to the SCJ website, the membership of the court for considering the appeal from the Chisinau Mayor Elect was approved. It includes judges Ion Druta, Luiza Gafton and Victor Budruh. The SJC says that the panel of judges may be changed. The sitting is appointed for 15:30. The appeal was submitted on Friday evening, the term of its consideration expires on Monday evening.

Experts do not exclude that Nastase lawyers will try to challenge one of judges, if their integrity raises doubts. Thus, in 2015, Prosecutor General demanded to punish judge Druta for the decision on the case on Aroma-Floris. Andrei Nastase also was involved in the case as lawyer, he demanded to punish Druta, but all the requests were declined.

Nastase's lawyers tried to challenge Appeals Court judges, but their demands were declined by the court. As a result, on Thursday evening the Appeals Court upheld the first instance court decision, which declared the election results as invalid.
