SOURCES Laura Vicol, questioned at DIICOT / Prosecutors allegedly expanded the criminal investigation with three new charges

Laura Vicol was allegedly questioned on Thursday, October 1, at the DIICOT headquarters, in the Nordis case, and prosecutors allegedly extended the criminal investigation against the former chairwoman of the Legal Committee of the Chamber of Deputies. The information, obtained from sources, had not been officially confirmed at that time.

The questioning allegedly took place in the presence of her lawyer. According to the cited sources, the new charges concern money laundering, making false statements, and complicity in fraud. Investigators are examining alleged operations through which the origin of certain sums of money may have been concealed, statements made during the investigation, and Vicol’s possible involvement in the mechanism through which Nordis clients’ money was collected and used.

The case investigates the sums paid by clients for apartments that allegedly were not delivered, as well as the activity of the Nordis group. The charges under investigation include forming an organized criminal group, embezzlement with particularly serious consequences, tax evasion, money laundering, and fraud.

The investigation, which began in February 2025, was expanded in August 2026 after 50 complaints were filed by 109 people. The additional reported damage exceeds 42 million lei, 14 million euros, and 17,000 dollars. In total, approximately 850 people are considered victims, while the damage under investigation exceeds 70 million euros. Laura Vicol denies that she was aware of the alleged fraud and benefits from the presumption of innocence.
