Justice Minister Tudorel Toader claims he doesn't know if by any chance the Prosecutor's office prosecutors who build the case regarding OUG 13 suspect common law criminal offenses, but maintains his conviction that the prosecutors will not infringe the Romanian Constitutional Court's decision.
"It is normal that prosecutors rule a solution in that case, as it was half way, half way through statements. (...) However, a nolle prosequi solution, be it as it may, still has to be ruled. (...) A solution must be given, but it couldn't carry on based on the ordinance's adoption circumstances, on legality, on grounds and constitutionality. I (...) have the conviction that after that decision, the prosecutor, no matter how powerful the Prosecutor's Office, cannot overrun the Constitutional Court's decision. I am convinced that it will not pursue, I repeat, opportunity, legality, circumstance, grounds or constitutionality. I cannot tell if they do not suspect common law criminal offenses, which are in the prosecutor's jurisdiction, we will see the ruling," declared Toader on Monday night at private TV broadcaster Romania TV.
The former Minister of Justice, Florin Iordache was heard by the prosecutors with the Prosecutor's Office of the High Court of Cassation and Justice (PICCJ), at the end of last week, concerning the case in which investigations are carried out with respect to OUG 13/2017, have declared judicial sources for agerpres.
According to the source, Florin Iordache made statements on Friday, as a witness.
The Prosecutor's Office was communicating on March 13 that the investigation concerning OUG 13 was underway and it focused on several offenses having been committed, emphasising that the prosecutor "has the obligation to ensure, based on evidence, the pursuit of truth."
