Laura Codruța Kovesi, reaction in the scandal of magistrates who denounce abuses in justice: "The application of disciplinary sanctions to judges and prosecutors who take a stand against abuses within their own professional body can only be interpreted as a measure of retaliation."

Laura Codruța Kovesi, head of the European Public Prosecutor's Office, reacted in support of the magistrates who denounced abuses in the judiciary, expressing her concern over recent revelations that affect their independence and reputation.

Kovesi cited a case won at the European Court of Human Rights, which emphasizes that sanctioning magistrates for opinions expressed in the public interest constitutes a violation of human rights. She criticized the authorities' response to these denunciations, considering the sanctions against judges as retaliatory measures intended to silence legitimate criticism.
