Twenty-one decisions of the candidates for membership of the Superior Council of Magistracy (SCM) and the Superior Council of Prosecutors (SCP) were made public on Tuesday evening, 1 August, after the special panel of the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ) annulled the decisions of the Pre-Vetting Commission regarding the twenty-one candidates and ordered their re-evaluation.

Thus, the SCM candidates to be re-evaluated are:

• Aureliu Postică, magistrate;
• Nicolae Șova, magistrate;
• Alexei Panis, magistrate;
• Victor Sandu, magistrate;
• Vladislav Holban, magistrate;
• Veronica Cupcea, magistrate;
• Valentin Caisin, non-judge;
• Stanislav Sorbalo, magistrate;
• Ion Chirtoaca, magistrate;
• Vitalie Stratan, magistrate;
• Angela Popil, non-judges;
• Aliona Miron, magistrate;
• Tatiana Chiriac, non-judges;
• Angela Bostan, magistrate;
• Ecaterina Buzu, magistrate;
• Alexandru Rotari, non-judges;
• Sergiu Osoianu, magistrate;
• Mihail Bușuleac, magistrate.

On the other hand, the candidates for the position of member of the SCP, who will be evaluated again, are:

• Anatolie Gîrbu, prosecutor;
• Vitalie Codreanu, prosecutor;
• Gladcov Cristina, prosecutor.

In the case of Mihail Bușuleac, the appeal lodged was only partially admitted. Thus, the Commission was ordered to resume the candidate’s assessment procedure, annulling the decision taken previously in his regard, and to recover the non-material damage. However, according to the SCJ, “the claim that the applicant’s right to privacy, guaranteed by Article 8 of the Convention, was violated and the non-material damage was awarded is rejected as unfounded”.
