she was the flagship of Romania’s-corruption huntress, she was regarded as a possible EU-attorney General – Laura with this. But now criminal charges and disciplinary proceedings against them.
18 criminal charges, four disciplinary proceedings, ban, police surveillance – the measures were, the Laura will make with this quiet. The former Head of the Romanian anti-corruption authority even commented on pass the decisions of the recently by the Bucharest government launched the special Prosecutor’s office for possible Criminal judges and prosecutors. Some people would seem to despair of the prospect that you could be with this – the EU’s first attorney General.
“By this measure, should my mouth be banned, I can’t say what is the thing”, is fighting with this. It is a measure that is part of the harassment, which all who have made justice their work well, are continuously exposed to. With this said: “you know, I find the procedure to me in a European application, in which I am in the first place, and probably the despair of some that I could exercise this function, so great, that you forbid me to talk to the press.”
Prevents the government Kövesis candidacy?
in order to play the many years of criminal investigator on the ruling social Democrats, PSD and under suspicion of corruption, the Chairman Livui Dragnea. The EU Parliament had voted for the 45-year-old with this as the future Head of the European office of the Prosecutor General.
The Permanent representatives Committee of the European Council favoured a French lawyer. Romania’s government, which holds until the end of June the EU presidency, tried to prevent for months, the candidacy Kövesis.
Yesterday was interrogated with this for six hours by the special Prosecutor’s office in Bucharest. After Leaving the building, she explained to journalists: “In my career of almost 24 years as a state Prosecutor, a criminal case was never against me. Very strange way I managed that in just one year, four disciplinary actions, 40 investigations of the judicial inspections and 18 investigations in a criminal run against me, as I read in a Press release that could remove it. And all of this is done alone, I’ve done my job, not I alone, but together with my colleagues.”

with this is not alone: “I’m the only one who is subjected to such harassment, there are also other state, am being harassed lawyers from the justice system and the anti-corruption authority with disciplinary procedures. It state be harassed lawyers and judges to say those who had the courage, what we expect as a result of the changes in the law, the practical the investigation of Corruption offences to a Standstill.”
President Klaus iohannis, announced that he intended to leave the same time as the elections to the EU Parliament to hold a Referendum on the so-called “judicial reform” of the government to hold. The emergency Ordinance of the government was, so John literally, “illegal.”
