The Superior Council of Prosecutors (CSP) was to propose last week to President a candidate for position of acting General Prosecutor. However, the exercise failed due to a lack of quorum at the CSP meeting. Under these terms, the legislation provides for appointment of an acting General Prosecutor by presidential decree, at the proposal of Parliament, with the opinion of CSP.

Ex – General Prosecutor, Eduard Harunjen, resigned from office on 11 July 2019. Currently, the position of acting General Prosecutor is held by deputy Igor Popa.
