Authorities will not initiate criminal investigation of priest who organized anti-Semitic gathering

The General Prosecutor has decided to refrain from initiating a criminal investigation of Anatolie Cibric, the priest who organized the anti-Semitic demonstration in downtown Chisinau on Sunday.

Mr. Cibric may instead get a 600-leu fine (about 60 U.S. dollars).

Authorities made this decision after a meeting between police officers and prosecutors, which was also attended by representatives of the Jewish community in Moldova. The representatives said they do not seek for a criminal investigation to be opened, but would like for such events not to take place anymore.
