Mihai Poalelungi
President of the Supreme Court of Justice
Moldova
“I will do everything in my power to promote the idea of reinstating criminal sanctions for defamation into the Criminal Code of Moldova.”
English

MoldovaCurata.md: Still, there have been accusations against you in the press…

Mihai Poalelungi: Yes, claiming that I protected some drug dealing nephews. And I don’t even have such nephews. Then they wrote about a credit of five million lei that I supposedly took at Victoriabank. [...] I am sorry that the media accepted the information about the five million lei without verifying it or at least asking for my opinion. Let journalists not take it personally, but I will do everything in my power to promote the idea of reinstating criminal sanctions for defamation into the Criminal Code of Moldova. I like giving the example of Germany, a democratic country where I like everything, so that I even insisted on my son studying there. It has about five or six criminal articles concerning defamation and verbal abuse. Why is it that a highly democratic country has such provisions, and we have none?
