Hearing of Judge Ruxanda Pulbere from the Central Court of Appeal

Judge Ruxanda Pulbere 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 her to a hearing.

According to the procedures established by law, the six members of the Commission were divided into two panels of three members each, generically named Panel A and Panel B. Each panel includes both national and international members.

Since Panel A, to which Judge Pulbere’s case was assigned, failed to reach unanimity regarding her evaluation, the entire Commission decided to conduct her hearing. During the hearing, the six Commission members questioned her to clarify aspects related to her financial and ethical integrity, including a possible unexplained wealth during the periods 2012-2015 and 2017, failure to comply with the asset and interest declaration regime, as well as the acquisition of vehicles at undervalued prices.

Following the hearing, the Commission 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.
