Andrei Niculcea

Andrei Niculcea is a former Moldovan judge who gained notoriety for his controversial rulings, including the conviction of former Prime Minister Vladimir Filat and the sentencing of Ilan Șor, a fugitive ex-deputy. His recent news presence stems from the Constitutional Court's decision to declare inadmissible his challenge against the disciplinary responsibility laws for judges, which he argued could impact his own legal circumstances following his dismissal from the judiciary. Known as 'the judge of Șor,' Niculcea has been scrutinized for his alleged connections with the fugitive politician and the implications of his judicial decisions on Moldova's legal landscape.
