Prosecutor General Ion Munteanu chosen as Supreme Court judge
Prosecutor General Ion Munteanu was appointed by the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) to serve as a judge on the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ). This decision was made during a plenary session held on May 15, where five candidates were evaluated.
Ion Munteanu achieved the highest score of 76.5, followed closely by Leonid Chirtoacă, who scored 76 points. The remaining three candidates—Ludmila Bolocan, Aliona Ciocanu, and Ruslan Berzoi—did not meet the required score to advance in the competition, reads a press release from the SCM.
In accordance with the legislation, the SCM has proposed to Maia Sandu, the President of the Republic of Moldova, the appointment of Ion Munteanu and Leonid Chirtoacă as judges at the SCJ.
