Romania's General Prosecutor Tiberiu Nitu has resigned on Tuesday evening. The Presidential Administration announced shortly afterwards that President Klaus Iohannis has received Nitu's resignation and accepted it.
Tiberiu Nitu is mentioned by the National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA) as an illegal beneficiary of some police motorcades, in a criminal case opened against former Internal Affairs Minister Gabriel Oprea.
Upon announcing his resignation, Nitu says he never had a motorcade in the legal sense of this term, but got a police escort proportional to the risk associated to his position, as per the legal norms in force.AGERPRES
