There are areas of high-level corruption that are not being "tackled" by the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA), President Nicusor Dan said on Monday.
"If we talk about DNA, we see that there are areas of high-level corruption that are not tackled - the real estate sector, for example, although it is not the most important, or tax evasion, or illegal logging," the head of state told private broadcaster Antena 3.
With regard to the real estate sector, he added that "as long as a chief architect has signed 100 illegal permits, in the same way you can realize that this is a corruption phenomenon."
"In the case of DNA, somehow, the overall evaluation is simpler - there is major corruption that has not been disturbed. As regards the General Prosecutor's Office, here it is somewhat more difficult, because especially when other state institutions do not function - let's say the Consumer Protection Authority, the prefects - everyone is tempted: whenever there is dissatisfaction in society, to file a criminal complaint, and then we have 2,500 prosecutors who are facing two million criminal complaints every year. Therefore, what the Prosecutor General should do is provide certain schemes for dealing with these cases, so that repetitive ones are somehow handled uniformly, and in this way we save time," Nicusor Dan pointed out.
