Romania's Prosecutor-general Augustin Lazar said on Thursday that the Justice Minister should never tell prosecutors what to do in the course of investigations.
"The administrative authority should be the only with direct higher competence and that should be all. It should see to the human resources required by the prosecution, the financial resources the Public Prosecution Office needs to work properly, whether the relations with the litigant parties are correct and that's it", Lazar said upon leaving the Supreme Council of Magistracy, when asked about the amendment according to which the prosecutors should act under the direct authority of the Justice Minister.
