Viorel Morari remains under arrest. Court of Appeal rejects the appeal of prosecutors and lawyers

The Court of Appeal rejected the appeal of the prosecutors, who challenged the conclusion of the Chisinau Court based in Ciocana, whereby the application for the preventive arrest was partially admitted. Though the prosecutors requested 30 days of arrest, the investigating judge issued a 20-day preventive arrest warrant for the accused, IPN reports.

According to the General Prosecutor's Office, "the necessity of placing Viorel Morari in preventive arrest is dictated by the seriousness of the criminal offenses , the circumstances that could determine the person to prevent the prosecution and the possibility of avoiding criminal liability".

The suspended head of the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office, Viorel Morari, was detained on January 10, and was subsequently charged with abuse of office and false in public acts.

Viorel Morari does not plead guilty.
