The Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) pointed out on Friday it has never determined and cannot determine the outcome of a criminal investigation or a criminal trial.
"SRI hasn't determined and cannot determine the outcome of an investigation or a criminal trial. In the beginning of criminal prosecution, according to the legislation, SRI has to bring the following contribution: sending notifications on criminal offenses; granting specialist support at the request of criminal investigation bodies, by supplying them at once with data and information about offense commission. As such, we assure you that there is no written indictment or drawn up by SRI officers," reads a SRI release posted on the institution website.
About "SRI's involvement in arrests," SRI underscores that it is directly interested in the observance of the Constitution and asks those holding evidence on abuse having been committed to present the pieces of evidence to the criminal investigation bodies.
Also on Friday, SRI informed there aren't case in which it monitored from an operative point the pending criminal cases. According to a SRI release, these clarifications come after the recent mass media requests.
On September 13, National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA) head Laura Codruta Kovesi asked the Judicial Inspection to conduct verifications about the statements of September 11 made by former SRI officer Daniel Dragomir on a TV station, who is on trial for corruption and corruption-assimilated offenses, and who insinuated that the DNA indictments aren't based on the body of evidence gathered by prosecutors based on criminal procedure provisions, but drawn up by the employees of another institution, SRI, and the DNA prosecutors' role would resume to signing and sending the indictments to court, according to a DNA release.
