Minister of Interior Carmen Dan on Wednesday had a meeting at the headquarters of the General Anticoruption Directorate (DGA) with the representatives of the management of this institution and the staff present in the unit at that time, on which occasion she specified it was not her intention to close the directorate through a restructuring process.
"The General Anticorruption Directorate is an important structure and representative for the Ministry of Interior (MAI). In this context, the Minister said that the only objective of reorganising the institution is strengthening its activity of prevention and combat of corruption and consolidating the integrity climate at the Ministry, based on an internal assessment," a release of the Interior Ministry sent to AGERPRES informed.
The Minister also exemplified the need of strengthening DGA actions including through the recent developments at the Police Academy level, where there were suspicions of serious crimes committed under threat of a journalist interested in the topic of plagiarism of PhD theses.
Moreover, the Minister conveyed that the opinions publicly expressed by DGA Director General Catalin Ionita "in a way that he personally assumed," shouldn't interfere with the activity of the institution and the achievement of its objectives.
The last reorganisation of the DGA took place in 2016, based on the same considerations," specified the MAI.
