On Friday, the Prosecutor Vetting Commission held hearings for two prosecutors: Ina Frunza-Bargan, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, and anticorruption prosecutor Vasile Disculțu.
In the pre-hearing stage, Evaluation Panels B and A collected relevant information about the subjects under evaluation and their related persons to verify compliance with the integrity criteria set out in Law No. 252/2023. Regarding the identified uncertainties, the panels issued four and, respectively, two rounds of written questions, to which the subjects responded within the set deadlines.
Ina Frunza-Bargan, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, noted that the external evaluation is an important but complex process and commended the Commission’s objectivity and the effort invested in the evaluation process.
“Personally, I understand that society’s expectations are high, but I trust that change in the justice system will happen and will be irreversible,” said prosecutor Vasile Disculțu.
The evaluation process has been completed for 26 subjects from the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, one of whom underwent re-evaluation. Video recordings of the hearings will be available within three working days on the Commission’s website: https://vettingmd.org/en/commission-activity/hearings/. The evaluation reports for the two prosecutors heard, including the Commission’s proposed conclusions on the outcome of the external evaluation, will be issued within 30 working days.
