CE Oltenia general manager Laurentiu Ciurel said Thursday the company received two bids for the RON471 million three-year coal transport contract but investigators seized all documents as evidence in a corruption case.
Anticorruption prosecutors are investigating GFR owner Gruia Stoica for allegedly bribing attorney Doru Bostina to get insider information on CFR Marfa’s bid.
“The bids were seized by the police. we are currently under contract with CFR Marfa and we will likely extend this contract by two months until we organize a new auction,” said Ciurel.
Stoica’s GFR attempted to buy a 51% stake in CFR Marfa in 2013 but the procedure failed.
