Judge for yourself: Maria Cozma's snap caused a storm online but is it a fuss about nothing?

A female judge has been blasted for posting a bikini snap online.

Super-hot Maria Cozma from the Moldovan capital Chisinau caused a social media frenzy when she posted a picture of herself posing in a bikini on to her Twitter timeline.

The granddaughter of the country’s President of the Supreme Justice Court was recently made judge in the capital’s main criminal court, the Centru Court.

Now the brunette, 27, has come in for criticism from more conservative elements in the country.

A spokesman for the society of judges said: "We are supposed to be a respected and serious body, not titillation for criminals and the Twitterrati.
"Unfortunately, because of who her family is, there’s not much we can do. But I strongly urge other female judges to not follow her example."

Women’s groups have also taken issue with the judge posting the photo.

Natalia Cebotari, 32, from a parliamentary group set up to look at equality for women in Moldova said: "She has done very well to get where she has, but one can’t help feel that by showing off her body like this she is encouraging other women to flaunt what they have if they want to get ahead.

"No one is saying that this is what she did, but it could give out the wrong impression."

Not everyone was opposed to the picture, though.

Garage mechanic Vladimir Sirbu, 54, told local TV: "If that’s the last thing someone sees before going down at least it will be a happy sight."

News of the storm over Maria's picture comes just a day after Mirror Online reported on a controversial car wash service carried out by bikini-clad babes.
