Moldova's Prosecutor General Valeriu Gurbulea was let go by Parliament today, after he submitted a resignation request on September 25, 2009, the day the new Government was voted in by the legislature.
Mr. Gurbulea has been accused by opposition politicians and civil rights activists of supporting the Party of Communists during his stint as Prosecutor. He has also appeared in a documentary film made by pro-Communist journalist Constantin Staris, which accused the liberal opposition and Romania of attempting to stage a coup in April 2009, during mass protests that ended in the devastation of the Parliament and the Presidential buildings in downtown Chisinau.
Thus far, two people have been rumored as replacements. One of them, Ion Diacov, has caused a stir in media outlets. Mr. Diacov is brother of Democratic Party (DP) former head and current honorary DP president Dumitru Diacov. The Democrats have denied these rumors, however.
