Floarea Alesu, former general director of DGASPC Teleorman, told the judges at the High Court of Cassation and Justice on Monday, at the last term of the appeal in the case file in which the Social Democratic Party (PSD, major at rule, ed.n.) leader is being tried, Liviu Dragnea, that she can rest easy "after seven years of nightmare".
Adriana Botorogeanu, one of the people who would have been fictionally employed at DGASPC Teleorman, asked the judges to have "leniency". "I understood that I was wrong and I regret that I broke the law. What I'm asking you is to have a little leniency for my situation," she said.
Olguta Sefu, deputy executive director of DGASPC Teleorman at the time of the deeds, declared herself innocent, adding that she never spoke to Liviu Dragnea.
"It's a 3-year-old nightmare during which I've lost my job. It is an enormous amount of work in these child protection institutions. I was not helped and consulted in drawing up the organisation chart. It seems impossible that I did not know what was going on, but I really did not know. I consider myself innocent. I never talked to Mr. Dragnea. I did not know that this clerk is there somewhere and I had to cover for her. If you can give me the opportunity to resume my life," Olguta Sefu told the judges.
The High Court of Cassation and Justice concluded on Monday the trial of the appeal in the fictitious employment case file from DGASPC Teleorman, where PSD leader Liviu Dragnea was sentenced to three years and six months imprisonment for instigation to abuse of office.
Anticorruption prosecutors argue that Floarea Alesu, the executive director of DGASPC Teleorman, for undue benefits, would have proceeded to illegally maintain on position two employees - Adriana Botorogeanu and Anisa Niculina Stoica.
