"Today, October 23, 2018, the judiciary crime investigation section established under Law 207/2018 amending and supplementing Law 304/2004 on the judiciary became operational. The procedure for the recruitment of the prosecutors appointed to this section of the Attorney General's Office excludes any external interference with the judiciary, being the attribute of the Supreme Council of Magistrates. The chair of the Supreme Council of Magistrates is convinced that the new specialised section will contribute to the adequate protection of the magistrates from pressure put on them, while at the same time increasing their independence safeguards. Such safeguards are equally indispensable prerequisites for the access of the justice seekers and society as a whole to an act of justice performed only in the letter and spirit of the law," reads a press statement released by CSM.
CSM says that it will continue to take responsibility for the procedures for the appointment of prosecutors to the offices of the Judiciary Crime Investigation Section according to the legal provisions.
The Judiciary Crime Investigation Section with the Attorney General's Office become operational on Tuesday.It has the exclusive power to prosecute crime committed by judges and prosecutors, including those who are members of the Supreme Council of Magistrates and military judges and prosecutors. The section retains its criminal prosecution power even in instances where there are other persons investigated besides judges and prosecutors.
The Attorney General's Ofice says that the court files being worked out by the National Anti-Corruption Directorate and other prosecutor's offices, as well as the pending cases regarding crime committed by judges or prosecutors are taken over by the Judiciary Crime Investigation Section.
Attorney General Augustin Lazar has announced that about 1,400 cases will be taken over by this section from the DNA and other prosecutors' offices.
