Nicușor Dan commented for the first time on the bribery case related to Deputy Prime Minister Dragos Anastasiu, declaring that it is a "big problem".

In a brief statement, Nicușor Dan recognized the seriousness of the bribery allegations against Deputy Prime Minister Dragos Anastasiu, who has been implicated in a corruption scandal linked to ANAF. Anastasiu admitted that his company had given bribes for 8 years, but was dismissed as a whistleblower witness. Government officials say the facts have nothing to do with his official duties. Anastasiu claimed he had no knowledge of the actions, stressing that managing multiple companies complicates detailed oversight of all operations.
