“Kicked Romanian can become an EU public prosecutor”
“Romanian korruptionsåklagaren Laura Codruta Kövesi was fired by his government in the summer, despite strong protests from the opposition.”
“Now she can instead make a comeback as the head of the new EU public prosecutor’s office, Eppo, reports the austrian news agency Apa, referring to the news sites in Romania.”
“Kövesi himself would neither confirm or deny that she has sought the Eppo-service.”
“the 45-year-old Kövesi led antikorruptionsenheten in Romania since 2013, but was forced to resign, among other things, referring to the fact that she was alleged to be too authoritarian. The opposition in the country argue, however, that she was kicked for his too zealous hunting of the corrupt politicians in Romania.”
“almost all EU-countries except Sweden are participating in the Eppo-cooperation, which shall be full again towards the end of 2020, with the aim to coordinate the fight against corruption and the misappropriation of EU funds.”
