Earlier in the morning, Ciolos confirmed he would dismiss Diaconu, adding that he is waiting for a replacement proposal from the Finance Minister, Anca Dragu.
Finance Minister asked the two ANAF chiefs to resign after the country’s anticorruption department DNA said on Wednesday they are under investigation for abuse of office in a case of EU funds misappropriation, involving lawmakers Madalin Voicu and Nicolae Paun.
Diaconu denied wrongdoing and refused to resign.
