The Ministry of Justice announced on Friday the beginning of a new selection procedure for the proposal of a new head of the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA), August 6 through September 6.
"During the selection process, it was found that none of the candidates fulfilled the requirements for appointment as chief prosecutor of the National Anti-Corruption Directorate. During the presentation of the managerial programme or the interview no candidate submitted sufficient elements of a plan based on an analysis of the current situation that would then allow an objective and transparent process of assessing managerial performance," the Ministry of Justice explained in a press statement.
The four candidates - Florentina Mirica - chief prosecutor of DNA Anti-Corruption Department; Cristian Lazar - deputy chief prosecutor at the Criminal Investigation Section of the Attorney General's Office; Marius Iacob - deputy DNA chief prosecutor; and Elena Grecu, chief prosecutor with the DNA central offices were interviewed on Thursday at the Ministry of Justice.
In the interview, each candidate was given approximately one and a half hour - thirty minutes to present a management project and one hour to answer questions.
The office of DNA chief prosecutor became vacant after Laura Codruta Kovesi was removed from office under a decree issued on July 9 by President Klaus Iohannis in implementing a Constitutional Court ruling.
