A lawyer was detained by the NAC and prosecutors in an influence peddling case. She allegedly claimed and received 1,000 euros for influencing some magistrates
31.01.2024 84 ViewsA lawyer was detained by the NAC and prosecutors in a case in which she is being investigated for influence peddling. She was denounced by another lawyer who allegedly sent her undue financial means to influence a court decision.
During the criminal trial, it was established that the suspect, knowing about the fact that the informant had a problem with her son, arrested in a criminal case, would have convinced her that, through a third person, she could make the judges modify the measure in regarding the accused in a non-custodial case. In exchange for this service, the lawyer allegedly claimed and received 1000 euros. Later, the decision was pronounced regarding the son of the whistleblower, who was placed under house arrest.
During the investigations carried out and from the evidence administered, it was established that, after the decision was pronounced, the whistleblower would have claimed her money from the lawyer, and she would have returned the entire amount to her by bank transfer.
Today, the NAC officers and prosecutors searched the lawyer's home, resulting in her detention for 72 hours. Similar actions took place with regard to the other lawyer, and the investigations on the case continue, under the procedural leadership of the Chisinau City Prosecution Office.
