DNA has launched an investigation against several ANAF inspectors and company administrators for bribery and influence peddling, involving large sums.

The National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) has begun an extensive investigation against some ANAF inspectors and company administrators, accused of bribery, influence peddling, and complicity. Among the defendants are Marin Marius-Eduard, an anti-fraud inspector, detained for 24 hours, and Istrati Bogdan, a service chief, accused of influence peddling. The investigation has revealed a complex scheme of corruption, in which ANAF inspectors allegedly accepted bribes to favor certain companies during tax audits. For example, in November 2024, inspectors promised to resolve a control favorably in exchange for 9,000 euros. Other cases involve amounts of 25,000 lei and 10,000 lei offered to influence the results of the audits. The defendants are under judicial control and must comply with certain conditions, including a ban on leaving the country. DNA emphasizes that the accusations do not affect the presumption of innocence.
