The Section for Prosecutors in Disciplinary Matter from the SCM applied, on Wednesday, a new sanction to the head of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Bucharest Military Court, Bogdan Pîrlog, consisting of a 10% decrease of the salary by a period of three months.
‘By the majority, he admits the disciplinary action formulated by the Judicial Inspection against the defendant prosecutor Bogdan Ciprian, the first military prosecutor of the Military Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Bucharest Military Court, investigated in the aspect of committing the disciplinary deviation provided by art.271 letter f) of Law no. 303/2022 regarding the status of judges and prosecutors. On the basis of art.273 para. (1) letter. b) of the Law no.303/2022 on the Statute of judges and prosecutors, applies to Mr. Pîrlog Bogdan Ciprian, the first prosecutor of the Military Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Bucharest Military Court, the disciplinary sanction consisting in the diminution of the monthly gross employment by 10% for a period of 3 months, for the commission of the discipline provided for art. 271 letter. f) of Law no. 303/2022 regarding the status of judges and prosecutors’, it is shown in the CSM decision.
The Judicial Inspection accused Bogdan Pîrlog of not complying with Order no. 2/27.03.2023 and Order no. 3/29.03.2023, issued by the Military Prosecutor of the Military Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Military Court of Appeal, higher hierarchical prosecutor.
Bogdan Pîrlog leads the ‘Initiative for Justice’ Association, which brings together about 100 prosecutors, being one of the most vehement contestants of the SCM.
He has been disciplined several times by the Judicial Inspection and sanctioned by the SCM, including for statements considered as ‘prejudice to the prestige of justice’.
Last week, through a statement of the Association ‘Initiative for Justice’, Bogdan Pîrlog asked President Nicușor Dan to prioritize the justice reform, especially in the field of corruption.
At the same time, he claimed that the Judicial Inspection is a ‘repression tool against uncomfortable magistrates’, and the CSM judges section is led by an anti -reformist majority.
Bogdan Pîrlog is the prosecutor who opened the file against the gendarmes for the violence of the rally on August 10, 2018, being the one who was self -identified in the case of violent intervention of law enforcement against protesters in Victoriei Square.
