Judge Grigore Dașchevici from the Central Court of Appeal - formerly the Chișinău Court of Appeal until its renaming on December 27, 2024 - undergoes evaluation by the Judicial Vetting Commission in compliance with the provisions of Law No. 252/2023. As part of the integrity evaluation process, the Commission invited him to a hearing.
During the hearing, Panel A, chaired by the Commission's Vice Chairperson, Andrei Bivol, alongside members Lavly Perling and Lilian Enciu, questioned the judge to clarify matters concerning his financial and ethical integrity. The inquiries focused on the unexplained accumulation of wealth by the subject's household during the periods 2012-2014, 2016-2019, and 2023, the potential de facto ownership of an apartment and two vehicles, as well as the declared cash savings at the beginning of the evaluation period.
Furthermore, the panel examined donations received by the subject and his spouse, the acquisition of a commercial building, and various ethical integrity concerns, including a potential conflict of interest and the subject’s involvement in three cases that led to findings of violations of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Following the hearing, the Panel will approve a report containing the relevant facts, reasons, and recommendations on whether the subject passes the evaluation. The evaluation result will be published, and the report will be sent to the Superior Council of Magistracy.
⭕️For the hearings conducted under Law 252/2023, the six members of the Commission were divided into two panels of three members each, designated as Panel A and Panel B. Each panel included both national and international members.
📜The external extraordinary evaluation is carried out based on the following principles:
