USR MP Emanuel Ungureanu called on Wednesday, October 28, for DIICOT and DNA to communicate the status of the Nordis case, within the limits permitted by the protection of the criminal investigation. The request was made at a press conference held alongside people who claim they have suffered losses.

USR says the case concerns more than 1,700 injured parties and estimated losses of over €195 million. Ungureanu is asking DIICOT for information about the measures adopted to protect the interests of those affected, while calling on DNA to clarify whether complaints concerning possible acts of corruption have been registered and examined.

A complaint filed with DNA by four injured parties mentions alleged links between representatives of the Nordis group and influential figures in politics. Among others, the document names Marcel Ciolacu, Sorin Grindeanu, Alfred Simonis and Laura Vicol. The claims belong to the complainants and are to be verified by the authorities.

USR recalls that it also called for a parliamentary investigative committee, “Mykonos-Nordis.” The first request was allegedly blocked in the Permanent Bureau of the Chamber of Deputies, while a second was filed on Monday. The DIICOT case file mentioned in the statement is 1854D/P/2022, and the injured parties complain about a lack of progress and delays in the hearings.

Context: the authorities have expanded the Nordis investigation, while the injured parties have called for the investigations to be accelerated

In the Nordis case, DIICOT ordered precautionary seizure over 184 properties and 14 plots of land, valued at approximately 12 million euros, with the measure taken up to the amount of the alleged damage, estimated at over 58 million euros. The investigation concerns offenses such as forming an organized criminal group, embezzlement, money laundering, tax evasion, and illegally obtaining budget refunds.

Subsequently, DIICOT expanded the criminal investigation following new complaints filed by people claiming to have suffered losses, and the inquiries were supplemented with charges for offenses including those related to operations alleged to have concealed the origin of certain sums. Meanwhile, several alleged victims protested in front of the DNA headquarters in Bucharest, calling for the investigation to be expedited and for clarification of how the complaints had been handled.
