Appeal brought on 30 April 2024 by Constantin Mincu Pătrașcu Brâncuși against the order of the General Court (Tenth Chamber) delivered on 28 February 2024 in Case T-385/23, Mincu Pătrașcu Brâncuși v European Public Prosecutor’s Office



(Case C-328/24 P)

(C/2024/5298)
Language of the case: Romanian

Parties


Appellant: Constantin Mincu Pătrașcu Brâncuși (represented by: A. Şandru, lawyer)

Other party to the proceedings: European Public Prosecutor’s Office

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court of Justice should:






—


set aside the order of the General Court (Tenth Chamber) of 28 February 2024 and declare void the decision of Permanent Chamber No 10 of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) of 8 December 2022, in criminal case No I.000026/2022.





Grounds of appeal and main arguments

The main ground of appeal is the lack of analysis of the compatibility of Article 42 of the EPPO Regulation (1) with EU law. The General Court dismissed the action without explaining in detail the grounds of that conclusion, relying on the premiss that Article 42 constitutes a legitimate obstacle. However, the General Court did not examine in detail the arguments relating to the contradiction between that article and the EU Treaties.
The second ground of appeal is the failure of the General Court to rule on the appellant’s request to reserve its decision pending a ruling on the substance of the case.
