A lawyer is accused by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of misleading a client, demanding money for false expertise, embezzling over 29,000 lei.

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office announced that a lawyer is accused of fraud, being charged with misleading a client and her husband. The lawyer allegedly claimed that for an effective defense, several judicial expertises were necessary, requesting money for IT expertises, regarding the server and software, as well as a fingerprint expertise. Subsequently, he continued to mislead, stating that the expertises had been carried out and that they had favorable results, requesting additional expenses.

In reality, the lawyer would have succeeded in obtaining the requested amounts, totaling over 29,000 lei. Although he did not acknowledge his guilt and refused to make statements, it is known that he has previously been convicted for a similar offense. According to the Penal Code, for fraud, the penalty can range from a fine to imprisonment, with deprivation of rights for a period of up to 3 years.
