Hearing of judge Vasile Nogai, former President of the Drochia District Court

Judge Vasile Nogai, former President and Acting President of the Drochia District Court, was heard by Panel D of the Judicial Vetting Commission as part of the external evaluation procedure, due to the leadership positions he held over the past five years, in accordance with Law No. 252/2023.

During the public part of the hearing, the members of the Panel examined issues related to the judge’s financial integrity, including donations received from relatives, the purchase of vehicles at prices below market value, ownership of a motor vehicle, as well as the possible existence of unjustified assets identified over several years within the evaluation period.
