Last week, CNA officers detained a man in connection with a case of influence peddling. According to available information, he demanded 30,000 euros from an individual in exchange for exerting influence on correctional facility staff to process the necessary documents and make the appropriate decisions for filing a petition with the court to release the convict from serving his sentence due to the discovery of a serious illness. Part of the demanded sum was handed over to the suspect under the supervision of anti-corruption center staff. The court ordered him to be placed in pretrial detention for 30 days.
During the reporting period, anti-corruption officials initiated 14 new criminal cases and referred 11 cases to court. Currently, two people are being held in the detention center of the National Anti-Corruption Center, and another 14 individuals charged in cases under the CNA’s jurisdiction are being held in pretrial detention in prisons.
The Agency for the Recovery of Criminal Assets (ARBI) confiscated three non-residential properties worth more than 13.4 million lei in a case involving substandard construction. Other previous confiscations totaling more than 3.7 million lei have been upheld by the courts. At the same time, the Agency conducted training sessions for users of the automated information system “Register of Confiscated Criminal Assets” (SIA RBII) for court staff, bailiffs, and employees of the State Tax Service.
In the area of corruption prevention, the CNA submitted 20 expert opinions and 2 opinions on draft regulations to the relevant authorities. The National Anti-Corruption Hotline received 68 calls, and the agency’s office registered 1,617 cases.
