Venice Commission made public the opinion on the criminal liability of the judges of the Constitutional Court

Venice Commission made public the opinion on the criminal liability of the judges of the Constitutional Court, at the request of the Chisinau court. The Commission establishes that the responsibility of the judges of the Constitutional Court should be exceptional and applied only for extreme deviations from the standards of the rule of law and constitutionalism.

Also, the errors made intentionally by the judges of the Constitutional Court, should be followed by punishments, criminal liability or civil liability.

The Constitutional Court of Chisinau requested the opinion of the Venice Commission, following the request of the Prosecutor General for the approval of the criminal prosecution of the former judges of the Constitutional Court, who took the decisions that resulted in a dual power in Chisinau, in June 2019.
