Senate's former Speaker Calin Popescu-Tariceanu claims that the case in which he is indicted by the prosecutors of the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) is an "eminently political" one.
According to the former prime minister, prosecutors "refuse" to find that the Executive he led adopted a series of Government's Decisions for Romania to "enter into legality", given that the central and local administration used "fraudulently" Microsoft software licenses.
According to the former speaker of the Senate, this is not the first time that a political power is trying to "silence him through a judicial frame-up".
The DNA announced on Monday that former Prime Minister Calin Popescu-Tariceanu has been indicted in a case in which he is accused of taking bribes worth 800,000 dollars. Procedurally, the anti-corruption prosecutors have reached the stage where he is to be sent to court.
