Interview with the president of the Pre-Vetting Commission: The only advice is “Be a clean judge and prosecutor”

Herman von Hebel, the chairperson of the Pre-Vetting Commission, talks about the evaluation process of magistrates and prosecutors and why the existence of an evaluation commission does not automatically mean a less corrupt country, in an interview for Agora.md

“We’re digging deeper, but we want to say that when we issue a disqualification decision, we really have serious doubts about that person’s background. And it’s not something we decide on a Friday afternoon. It’s very serious legal work. That’s why it takes longer than it should. But quality determines the end of this process,” explains Herman von Hebel.
