Hearing of Ghenadie Mîra, candidate to the Selection and Evaluation Board of Judges

Judge Ghenadie Mîra is the President of the Chișinău Court of Appeal and was evaluated and heard by the Vetting Commission as a candidate for membership in the Selection and Evaluation Board of Judges of the Superior Council of Magistracy. The hearing occurred within the framework of evaluating his ethical and financial integrity, as stipulated by Law 26/2022, subordinate regulations, and other normative acts.

During the hearing two issues related to the candidate's ethical integrity were discussed. Commission members asked questions to clarify:

- the lack of mention in the ethics questionnaire of a criminal case from 2017, in which the candidate was suspected and subsequently cleared of charges;

- circumstances surrounding the undervaluation of the apartment where he resides.

Additionally, in a closed session, a complaint regarding the alleged non-compliance of the candidate with a Constitutional Court decision was examined.

Following the hearing, the Vetting Commission will issue a reasoned decision on passing or failing the evaluation.

📜The evaluation of candidates for the positions of members in the self-administration bodies of judges is carried out based on the following principles:

a) independence of the Evaluation Commission;

b) fairness of the evaluation procedure;

c) publicity of the acts issued in the evaluation process;
