There are also searches related to the name of former minister Carmen Dan, who has returned to the forefront following her association with her sister, the latter being detained for 24 hours in a bribery case.

A distinct area is tax administration, where the statements of the head of ANAF about the "VAT gap" have attracted public attention by referring to homemade jam.
