Mayor of Timisoara Nicolae Robu stated on Friday, upon leaving the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) that he is considered to be a suspect in a case of corruption.

"Suspect. Everyone has this title. Suspect because I have signed these sale-purchase contracts, which were drawn up, but not by me, drawn up breaching the law," Robu stated, mentioning that he considers himself innocent.

He pointed out that, during his tenure, only two modest apartments were sold, one having two rooms and another one with just one room, to modest families, by observing the law.

"Timisoara City Hall sold apartments belonging to the state or owned by the city, based on the Law No.112/1995 (the Retrocession Law- e.n.). It looks like almost 1,000 apartments were sold by breaching the law, namely to tenants who signed the lease contracts after the Law No.112 entered into force. (...) There was a decision of the previous administration through which it was allowed for apartments to be also sold based on the lease contracts signed ulterior to the date when the law was enforced. It looks like the City Hall's specialized body also made sales, I don't know under what circumstances, I will look it up, during my tenure, and for that reason I was subpoenaed. It's about some modest houses, sold to some modest families, therefore, it's not about corruption or highly positioned persons and so on. I requested to the City Hall body and I have proof in this regard, through an internal note, to tell me if these transactions were made by observing the law and they reply 'yes', the law was observed. Therefore I consider myself completely innocent," Robu explained.

He mentioned that, since he was elected mayor, he recovered three buildings from certain clans and hasn't lost any.

"In 2013, a year after I have become mayor, I addressed to the Prosecutor's Office with the Timisoara Court and the Timis Police Inspectorate and I requested that all the transfers of the Romanian state or of Timisoara city towards different private (companies or persons - e.n.), including with the clans mentioned, to be investigated, because the local folklore spoke of many irregularities. (...) I have recovered from them three buildings and haven't lost any, since elected as mayor, so to be clear," Robu claimed.

Also on Friday, former Deputy Mayor of Timisoara Traian Stoian arrived at the DNA headquarters in order to be heard by the anticorruption prosecutors.

The DNA prosecutors are investigating the illegal retrocession of 968 houses in Timisoara, judicial sources stated for agerpres. According to these sources, the estimated damage would stand at approximately 40 million euros.
