President Klaus Iohannis on Wednesday signed a decree discharging Tiberiu Nitu from the office of Romania's Attorney General with the Supreme Court of Justice and Cassation.
"Although the [Cooperation and Verification Mechanism of the European Commission] CVM report validates the result of my work as head of the Public Prosecution Service, and so do data to be reported in March, as my name and the position I represent are artificially associated to a situation that might impact the image of the institution I manage, I have decided - as a gesture of responsibility and honour - to submit my resignation from the position of attorney general of the Prosecution Office with the Supreme Court of Justice and Cassation," Nitu said in a press statement.
The Presidential Administration announced shortly afterwards that President Klaus Iohannis has received Nitu's resignation and accepted it.
