Following this decision, the appointment of Victor Furtuna as chief prosecutor of PCCOCS will be proposed for approval to the General Prosecutor. Additionally, information regarding the candidate will be submitted to the Vetting Commission to start the process for verifying his ethical and financial integrity.

"Mr. Prosecutor, congratulations on this achievement. Both the prosecution system and the CSP, as well as the citizens, are expecting immediate and consolidated changes. We are looking for a new direction in the prosecutor's office that you will lead," said Dumitru Obada during today's CSP meeting.

Victor Furtuna expressed his gratitude to the CSP for their trust and assured that "everything outlined in the management concept will be translated into reality."
