Previously, the prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Georgia Adelini, on the occasion of Mr. Bouga’s document, in her statement, among other things, said:
“3. We also emphasize that judicial independence is the foundation of our democratic state and ensuring it is the duty of all of us, excluding any intervention by the other two powers, for whatever reason and whether it is attempted, even to deal with existing and serious problems, as in this case case.
4. Finally, in accordance with the Constitution (articles 87 et seq.), the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court and all prosecutorial officers are included in the judicial function of the State and enjoy personal and functional independence.
Consequently, according to the above provisions, the responsibility for the proper functioning of their Services belongs to the Directors of the Country’s Prosecutions and by extension to the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court”.
