1. (C) On July 10, the Ministry of Internal
Affairs presented Embassy with the nomination of
Valeriu Tudor Hincu for the position of Director
of the Moldovan Center for Combating Trafficking
in Persons (CCTIP). Pursuant to the dual
bilateral Letter of Agreement between the USG and
the GOM on Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement,
the USG has agreed to do background checks on
candidates for the position of director of the
Center for Combating Trafficking in Persons
before the appointment is made.


2. (2) The Ministry of Interior has proposed
Valeriu Tudor Hincu, who was born July 4, 1970 in
Orhei in Moldova. From 1970 until 1998 his
family name was spelled Gincu. He studied
History at the Moldova State University in
Chisinau from 1987-1992, and from 1993-1995 was a
Lt.-Col in a mobile police unit of Ministry of
Interior forces. He has lived in Chisinau since
1995, serving from 1995 until the present as
Deputy Director of Administration in the Ministry
of State Security (MGB),which is now called the
Service for Information and Security (SIS).


3. (C) Hincu is being nominated to replace Col.
Petru Plop, who resigned (under duress)from his
position in May. In the interim, Veaceslav Ceban
has been serving as Acting Director, and is
expected to remain on as Deputy Director.


4. (C) Post has no derogatory information about
this individual, and only indirect knowledge of
him. The Ministry of Interior has asked for a
USG response by Tuesday, July 15, so that the
appointment could be announced on Wednesday.
Unless advised otherwise by the Department by OOB
local time Tuesday, we plan to make no objection
to the nomination.
