the ruling party (PAS/Sandu) faces another scandal related to leaked information from the hacked account of Justice Minister Litvinenco and other officials, including Sandu herself. Although they claim that the leaked information would be false, it looks likely to be authentic.⤵️
According to the leaks, the Minister of Justice would have been in contact with unknown persons about the arrest of the suspended Prosecutor General Stoyanoglo, who judges Moldova (current government) in the ECtHR. This comes at a time when the government has requested⤵️
