No candidates from civil society, risking creation of Special Prosecution of Anti-Corruption

02/11/2017 13:00

The new institutions of the judiciary reform, the High Council of Justice, High Council of Prosecution, Special Prosecution Against Corruption and the Bureau of Investigation, should have been established this spring, but it may not be functional even by winter.

One of the reasons is that the candidates of both Judiciary and Prosecution High Councils should be vetted.

The second obstacle is that some of the members in these councils must come from lawyers, some from the academic sector, and some from the civil society. The list of candidates for the High Council of Prosecution is still empty, because there are no qualified candidates from the civil society.

The ad-hoc commission that supervises this process confirmed for Top Channel that it has been impossible for them to take the names in Parliament.

If the civil society will not be able to bring candidates yet, the lawmakers will have to take the fate of the judiciary reform on their hands and amend the law for SPAC.
