Alexandr Stoianoglo (born 3 June 1967) is a Moldovan former prosecutor and politician.
Stoianoglo is a candidate in the 2024 Moldovan presidential election.[2] He finished second in the first round of voting on 20 October and will face incumbent President Maia Sandu in the second round on 3 November.[3]
Personal life
Alexandr Stoianoglo is an ethnic Gagauz.[4]
Career
He was a member of the Parliament of Moldova in 2009-2014 and became Prosecutor General of Moldova in 2019.
On 5 October 2021, Stoianoglo was arrested by security forces under allegations of corruption.[5] In total, five cases were filed against him by Lilian Carp MP, a Vice President of the governing Party of Action and Solidarity. He was suspended from office by Maia Sandu's government, who won the presidency in 2020 on an anti-corruption ticket, before being ultimately dismissed in September 2023.[5][6]
In 2023, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Stoianoglo's right to a fair trial had been violated and awarded him 3,600 Euros in damages.[7] In February 2024, a Chișinău court acquitted him in the case involving authorisation of payments to a subordinate prosecutor.[6] During the trial, Stoianoglo accused the government of using the cases to prevent him from ridding the prosecutor's office of political influence.[6]
2024 presidential campaign
Stoianoglo ran as a candidate with the support of the Party of Socialists in the 2024 Moldovan presidential election, where he gained enough votes to force a runoff despite placing second in the first round of voting on 20 October. He will face incumbent President Maia Sandu in the second round on 3 November.[8]
Stoianoglo expressed opposition to amending the Constitution of Moldova to enshrine its commitment to joining the European Union in the 2024 Moldovan European Union membership referendum held on the same day as the first round of the presidential election, although he says that he is a supporter of Moldova's "European aspirations".[8] He has also pledged a “balanced” foreign policy with the EU, the United States, Russia and China as part of his campaign pledge.[9]
Stoianoglo has been described as being backed by a "pro-Russian" campaign.[10][11][12]
