"On 17 February 2016 - the Justice Ministry initiated the selection procedure for the Prosecutor General office. The criteria and conditions that were enunciated, which we have in the personnel file at the Ministry of Justice, stipulated, among other things, the legal conditions and the 'Very good' mark at the last assessment. On 15 March 2016 - the candidacy of Mr Prosecutor Augustin Lazar was registered at the Justice Ministry. On 21 April 2016 - the Prosecutors' Section of the CSM [the Superior Council of Magistracy] issues a positive opinion regarding the Justice Minister's proposal. One week after: on 28 April - Romania's President signs the appointment decree for the Prosecutor General office. Coming back from 2016 to nowadays when we make the assessment and what do we find? That in the candidacy file, at the respective moment, there was no indication of a document proving that the criterion for obtaining the "Very Good" mark at the latest activity assessment was met. Which means that there was a piece missing from the file in the assessment and appointment - the mark, the assessment over the latest period," Toader said when presenting the report on the managerial activity of the Chief Prosecutor of Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice (PICCJ).
