Justice Minister Tudorel Toader stated that he is not to participate in the 2017 review meeting of the National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA), invoking the fact that he didn't receive the institution's activity report.
Prosecutor-in-chief of the DNA Laura Codruta Kovesi showed that the guests receive the report.
"The activity report is presented in written, it is forwarded to the Prosecutor General of the PICCJ [the Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice], who is to send it to you and this thing has happened. (...) The people invited to take the floor categorically receive the activity report in order to write down things," she explained.
Kovesi mentioned that the DNA's 2017 activity report was sent today to the Justice Minister.
"What am I to do, read it at night?," Justice Minister Toader replied.
The Prosecution Section of the CSM issued a negative opinion on Tuesday in respect to Justice Minister Tudorel Toader's proposal to remove from office prosecutor-in-chief of the DNA Laura Codruta Kovesi.
