Minister of Internal Affairs Carmen Dan announced on Tuesday having requested the PM a six-month authorization for principal quaestor Catalin Ionita as head of the Romanian Police, in lieu of Bogdan Despescu, who was considered unfit in the aftermath of the case of a police officer who is charged with sexual assault on children. 

Dan said that Ionita, who is currently head of the Anticorruption Directorate General, has been explicitly tasked on Monday with completing a system diagnose. 

Carmen Dan added that she had discussed with the head of the Psychology Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked the redesigning of the entire procedure for the organization of the ministry's testing activity. 

Interior Minister Carmen Dan said she was completely unhappy with the explanations offered by Romanian Police high-ranking officials in the case of the officer accused of being a pedophile. 

''I asked for clarifications from the management of the Romanian Police. I saw they offered a briefing via the institution's spokesperson. (...) So far, none of the superiors of this officer pledged responsibility. (...) Superficial testing is the root cause for the presence in the system of people with behavioral deviations. (...) I declare myself completely dissatisfied with the explanations received. I didn't see any of the persons in office come out publicly. There was no answer to the question how come none of the responsible persons was in the know about these behavioural deviations. (...) This is probably an isolated case, but with recurrences. (...) The primary information was reported with delay to the minister. Let's have the courage to assume responsibility for the issues in the system. I find the explanations last night were fraught with gaps. (...) I asked Bogdan Despescu's removal from office," IntMin Dan told a press conference.
