Nicuşor Dan: “There is a stepping up of prosecutors’ offices’ activity” / “I know they are working on a report”

President Nicuşor Dan stated on Tuesday that he observes a “revitalization” of the prosecutors’ offices’ activity, approximately seven months after the appointment of the new heads of the major prosecutors’ offices. The head of state made the statement during a press conference, when asked about the activity of the chief prosecutors.

Nicuşor Dan argued that the appointments were made in compliance with the procedure provided by law. He specified that the chief prosecutors were not appointed by the PSD, but proposed by that party, referring to the process of appointing the leadership of the major prosecutors’ offices.

“The procedure for appointing the chief prosecutors was provided by law; they are not appointed by the PSD, they were proposed by the PSD,” the president stated.

Nicuşor Dan said that his choices for leading the prosecutors’ offices had been good. The statement represents the first public assessment made by the head of state since the installation of the new chief prosecutors.

The president also announced that the chief prosecutors are preparing a report on the results of their activity over the past six months.

“We’ll see, now that the six months have passed, what results they have achieved. I know they are working on a report. We will all look at that report very soon,” Nicuşor Dan stated.
