Justice Minister On Decree 13: They Should Rule On Closing The Case
Justice Minister Tudorel Toader said Monday that he is convinced that the prosecutors of the General Prosecutor’s Office no longer target aspects of opportunity, legality, reliability or constitutionality in the case of government emergency ordinance 13 (OUG 13) on the amending of the criminal codes.
Toader said that “they should rule on the closing of the case, or something like that”.
Late February, National Anticorruption Department DNA sent part of the charges in the file on OUG 13 at the General Prosecutor’s Office.
Earlier in February, Senate chairman, Calin Popescu-Tariceanu notified the Constitutional Court on the existence of a legal conflict of constitutional nature between the Government of Romania and the Public Ministry, through the National Anticorruption Department. Tariceanu said that the investigation by anti-corruption prosecutors of the elaboration of decree 13 represents the violation of the executive power by the judicial power. (mediafax.ro)
