Dumitru Daniel Learciu has resigned from his position as a county councilor and has suspended himself from the PSD, being a suspect in the case of prosecutors Gigi Ștefan and Teodor Niță.

Dumitru Daniel Learciu, a county councilor from the PSD Constanța party, has resigned from his position and has suspended himself from the party, according to a statement from the county organization. The decision was made in the context in which Learciu is a suspect in a criminal case in which prosecutors Gigi Ștefan and Teodor Niță have been placed in preventive custody for serious charges, including influence peddling and bribery. PSD Constanța appreciated Learciu's gesture as one of responsibility, noting that he chose to withdraw in order not to affect the party's activity and that of the County Council.

Investigators have documented discussions between Learciu and prosecutor Ștefan regarding a wind farm project, and Learciu is alleged to have been involved in acts of corruption, including offering money in the prosecutor's office. This complicated situation raises questions about the integrity of public officials and about how political activities are conducted in Constanța County.
