CNA rejects the transfer of the Realitatea Plus ownership under full ANAF control

The National Audiovisual Council (CNA) rejected the request of PHG Media Invest to transfer 100% of the shares to PHG Media Invest LLC, a company from Wyoming, USA, while the company was under ANAF checks for tax suspicions.

Daniela Madi Păcuraru, the sole shareholder, was mentioned as the ultimate beneficiary of the change, the lawyer arguing that the move was necessary for the protection of editorial freedom. However, ANAF warned CNA that the change was not timely, considering the unpaid debts of over 605,000 lei.

Additionally, the lawyer acknowledged that the modification had already been made at the Trade Register without CNA's approval, which raised suspicions of legal repositioning. CNA decided that PHG Media Invest must return to the initial structure, and failure to comply with this decision could lead to additional sanctions.
