Security and Intelligence Service

of the Republic of Moldova

Statement

Following several requests from media representatives, the Security and Intelligence Service comes with the following details:

 

On January 28, 2020, the institution sent the intelligence briefing No. 5/171 concerning Dorel Musteață and Nina Cernat to the General Prosecutor's Office.

 

Taking into account the request from October of the Parliamentary Legal Commission for immunities and appointments, as well as the lack of investigations carried out by the General Prosecutor's Office regarding the information provided in January 2020, the SIS carried out an additional check concerning the judge Dorel Musteață, in the limits of its legal competences.

 

As a result, the SIS determined that the primary information submitted to the Prosecutor's Office has no probative value, as there is no evidence of illicit enrichment and risk factors regarding the mentioned judge. The data on additional check was also submitted to the profile Parliamentary Commission.

 

At the same time, we mention that the management of the SIS initiated a control of the specialized subdivision in order to establish the cause that led to differences between the two briefings, as well as the circumstances in which the SIS intelligence briefing No. 5/171 of 28 January 2020 was disseminated to third parties.
