Justice Minister Tudorel Toader announced on Monday that he will be carrying out the assessment of Prosecutor General Augustin Lazar's activity, within 30 days' time, specifying that he made this decision as he noticed that in time, the Public Prosecution Service "has gradually strayed from the constitutional role it has."
According to the Justice Minister, the assessment criteria of the prosecutor general are "those from the law."
Toader reminded that he announced a long time ago that such assessments would be carried out.
"When was I stating that a time must come for everyone to be assessed? A long time ago (...) Certainly, I will also be assessed at some point. (...) I am only following through with what I was saying back then, not what he [PG Augustin Lazar, e.n.] is saying today," Tudorel Toader affirmed when asked how he comments on Augustin Lazar's statements who suggested that the political might have influenced the decision to have him assessed.
Moreover, asked whether an assessment of the Judicial Inspection by the Justice Ministry is required, Toader replied: "We are talking about this assessment for the time being, we will take it step by step."
The Justice Minister participated on Monday in the Annual reunion of the Romanian Diplomatic Corps, taking place these days in Bucharest.
