Radu Marinescu, the Minister of Justice: "Any form of persecution of a person for reporting issues that, in their opinion, constitute dysfunctions or abuses in the system in which they operate is unacceptable. Such reports must be verified and clarified, not suppressed."

Radu Marinescu stated that he supports the clarification of all aspects raised by magistrates in the Recorder documentary, emphasizing that any form of persecution of those who signal dysfunctions is unacceptable. Although he has not received complaints regarding the issues raised in the documentary, Marinescu stated that he will act to verify the accusations. He mentioned that the diversity of opinions in the judiciary is normal, but it should not lead to punitive approaches. The Minister of Justice emphasized that the justice laws adopted in 2022 have been positively evaluated at the European level and that any legislative change must be based on a political agreement.

The documentary "Captured Justice" has sparked reactions among magistrates, and the CSM has denounced the campaign to destabilize trust in the system. Judges and prosecutors have signed letters of support for colleagues who have spoken about the issues in the system, highlighting that these are systemic.
