The section for judges of the CSM found that the former Minister of Justice, Stelian Ion, violated the independence of judges through public comments made after the acquittal of former Minister Nicolae Bănică by the ICCJ. The decision was adopted with 7 votes in favor, one null vote, and one abstention. The CSM emphasized that such statements, later picked up by the media, can affect the perception of the impartiality and credibility of the courts, in the context of the pronouncement of criminal decisions, and that judges are the guarantors of the rule of law and fair process.
