The controversial businessman Veaceslav Platon has threatened to sue Publika TV and demand compensation of 400 million lei, after Publika TV published news (source: deschide.md) about an alleged bribery committed by the magistrates of the plenum of the Criminal College of the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ) who, this week, will examine the case regarding his involvement in bank fraud.

Publika TV gives assurances that the information was presented correctly, with the comments of all those concerned, including Platon's presented by one of his lawyers.
 
In one of his Facebook posts, he argued the news our television published would defame him. 
 
However, our television presented the information in a balanced objective way, respecting the right to reply of all the persons concerned. 
 
Publika recalls that we published an article, quoted from deschide.md, saying that Veaceslav Platon 
would seek to bribe the magistrates of the plenum of the Criminal College of SCJ, which is due to examine on May 7 the case regarding his involvement in bank fraud. The amount proposed to each judge would reach 400 thousand euros, for a favorable verdict.
 
Specifically, his case is to be examined by the Supreme Court's Criminal College formed by 8 magistrates: Vladimir Timofti, Nadejda Toma, Anatolii Țurcan, Elena Cobzac, Victor Boico, Iurii Diaconu, Liliana Catan and Ion Guzun, the last three being those who issued favorable decisions in his previous case, according to Deschide.

According to some judicial sources, quoted by Deschide, Platon has already started bribing this panel of magistrates. This time, the amounts would be much higher. He would propose 400 thousand euros for each of them for a favorable decision or, at least, to send the case to the Criminal College of the Court of Appeal for retrial. 
 
Deschide also writes that the one who created the connections between Platon and the other judges would be none other than Liliana Catan. 

It is rumored that, this person also received additional one million euros "for organizing the process". Moreover, she was promised the position of the SCJ president which will be elected in the near future. 

The judge of the Supreme Court of Justice, Liliana Catan, vehemently denied all the accusations that she was involved by any means in the release of Veaceslav Platon from prison.

"Being active in the judiciary for 24 years, I have never heard more stupid, sick and paranoid nonsense against me," Catan told Publika TV.

"The Platon case, as far as I remember, was never in my proceedings, I was neither a president, nor a rapporteur. Platon's case is to be examined not by the criminal college, but by the criminal plenum of the Supreme Court of Justice, ie the entire composition of the criminal college.

As for connections, nonsense, etc., they are nonsense coming from an extremely sick mind and I am not even going to comment on them. Any decisions that I and my colleagues have ever made are motivated, not only in the Platon case or someone else", Catan added. 

Veaceslav Platon's lawyers also rejected the accusations that Veaceaslav Platon bribed the judges to release him from prison.

"These accusations are made intentionally before the court hearings, and the information is meant to influence the decision of the SCJ judges," Ion Creţu, one of the Platon's lawyers, told Publika TV.

In this context, it should be mentioned that the position of President of SCJ is vacant, and the only candidate for this position is Judge Liliana Catan. She was the only one who submitted the application for the contest organized by the SCM.
