Justice Minister Raluca Pruna stated on Wednesday that she is going to hold talks with representatives of the Superior Council of Magistrates (CSM) to launch procedures to designate a new Prosecutor General, adding, however, that there was a lack of candidates.
Asked whether she had offered former Prosecutor General Tiberiu Nitu the option to resign, Pruna answered: "I have not given Mr. Nitu any option. I congratulate him for the decision made."
Tiberiu Nitu announced on Tuesday he was resigning "as a gesture of responsibility and honour" after his name was linked to the scandal on the illegal use of motorcades. Bogdan Licu, first deputy of the Prosecutor General will head the Prosecution Service on an interim basis. AGERPRES
