Global Defense Logistic maintains that the difficulties arising in the company's operations are related to delays in collecting receivables of approximately 20 million euros and calls for the situation to be analyzed on the basis of documents and verifiable facts.

The company states that it has been active for over 14 years in the field of agency services and operational support for military vessels of NATO member states and the United States Navy. According to its representatives, these services involve coordinating port authorities, local suppliers, and dozens of subcontractors involved in operations carried out across multiple jurisdictions.

Global Defense Logistic specifies that the unpaid amounts do not consist exclusively of its own resources, but also include funds needed to pay partners who have already provided services to military vessels. The company claims that the financial blockages have affected the operational flow and warns of a possible domino effect throughout the contractual chain.

The company's representatives state that they are making all requested documents available to the authorities and are cooperating with the ongoing checks. At the same time, they criticize materials published without requesting the company's position and call for a balanced presentation of the situation, including its financial and operational context. The company reaffirms its willingness to provide clarifications to the press and the competent institutions.

Context: DNA previously coordinated searches in a case concerning naval services for NATO

Previously, the National Anticorruption Directorate conducted searches at three locations in Romania, including the headquarters of Global Defense Logistics SRL and the homes of certain individuals, as part of an international investigation into alleged fraud against NATO. The operation was coordinated with authorities from the United Kingdom, Norway, and Germany, with EUROJUST support, and the investigation concerns the contracting of NATO naval military services through NSPA.

As part of the same investigation, Norwegian authorities detained five people and conducted searches at homes and company premises, while in Germany checks were carried out pursuant to a European Investigation Order. Global Defense Logistics SRL is managed and co-owned by Gabriel Daraban, while MORAN TEVFIK LUTFI (with the largest shareholding) was also listed among its shareholders, according to the investigation data.
