Mother Seeks Justice After Son's Pedestrian Death in Moldova

In Chisinau, Moldova, Natalia Lazariuc's fight for justice continues after her son, Daniel, was killed in a pedestrian accident in December 2022. The 22-year-old driver received a 3-year sentence, with half suspended, a ruling Lazariuc appealed. The case has faced repeated delays, with the most recent postponement due to a judge's absence. "After two and a half years, I still can't find justice," Lazariuc stated in an interview. Her lawyer, Isai Chires, points to several traffic violations by the driver, including leaving the scene and speeding. The case highlights concerns about the Moldovan judicial system's efficiency and compassion for victims' families. The ongoing appeal seeks a harsher sentence and increased compensation for moral damages.
