The MPs of the “SHOR” Party and the Party of Communists have sent personal guarantees to the Chisinau Court of Appeal, in which they give assurances that Marina Tauber will not evade prosecution and demand the immediate release of the MP from pre-trial detention.
The letter was signed by the MPs of the Party of Communists Vladimir Voronin, Oleg Reidman, Inga Sibova, Diana Caraman, Veaceslav Nigai, as well as by Marina Tauber’s fellow MPs from the “SHOR” Party: Denis Ulanov, Petru Jardan, Reghina Apostolova and Vadim Fotescu.
„Pursuant to Article 179 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Moldova, we, the undersigned members of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova of the XIth legislature, hereby give this personal guarantee in favour of the accused Marina Tauber, undertaking that, by the authority vested in us, we will ensure that the accused complies with all the procedural obligations incumbent upon her under the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Moldova, in particular her appearance before the prosecuting authority and the court at every summons, the normal conduct of the criminal proceedings and the establishment of the truth in this criminal case”, states the letter to the Court of Appeal.
The MPs also wrote that the charges against Marina Tauber are politically motivated, as her arrest is just one of many repressive actions against the parliamentary opposition.
„ We request the release from pre-trial detention of the Member of Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, Marina Tauber, with the application to her of a preventive measure in the form of a “personal guarantee”, contains the address.
