Summary
When asked about a Moldovan court sentencing the head of Gagauzia to seven years, the UN press office described the matter as one for Moldova's domestic court system and offered no further comment.
A reporter asked the United Nations whether it had a comment after a court in Moldova sentenced the head of the Gagauzia autonomy to seven years in prison for financing a banned party.
The UN spokesperson said this appeared to be a matter for Moldova's domestic courts and offered no additional comment, noting that if the UN had further information it would provide it later.
The briefing did not supply further details on the case, the name of the sentenced official beyond the transcription, the date of the sentence, or whether the UN would engage diplomatically. Those details were not specified in the public briefing.
