The chief prosecutor of the National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA), Laura Codruta Kovesi says her doctoral thesis belongs to her entirely and that she did not plagiarize, adding that the slanderous statements of the 'persons investigated by the DNA' have made the object of the intimations lodged to the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM).
The DNA head adds that ever since 2012 she has specified she didn't plagiarize her doctoral thesis, from the very appearance in the public space of the 'slanderous affirmations of this kind.'
"The defamatory affirmations of the persons that are under a DNA investigation, of an unprecedented vehemence this year have made the object of the intimations lodged to the Superior Council of Magistracy which found that they damage the image and credibility of the judiciary. Moreover, compared with earlier positions taken by Ghita Sebastian Aurelian, where he made allegations regarding the criminal investigations unfolded by prosecutors, the DNA notified this year both the head of the Prosecutor's Office with the High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ, Supreme Court of Romania) and the Superior Council of Magistracy," adds Kovesi.
