Ex-Youth Minister in corruption and cover-up probe
Romania’s National Anti-corruption Department (DNA) has started an investigation against the former Minister of Youth and Sports, Monica Iacob-Ridzi, who is accused of abuse in service against the public interest, fraud and corruption. September 2009 - From the Print Edition
The former Democratic-Liberal Party (PD-L) Minister denied the accusations.
At the end of July the Chamber of Deputies decided to lift Iacob-Ridzi’s immunity after a parliamentary commission started an investigation into the manner in which her Ministry spent money on celebrations for Youth Day on 2 May this year. Following the announcement of the probe, the Minister resigned her post.
Preliminary investigations allege that Iacob-Ridzi illegally granted two contracts worth more than 0.7 million Euro in total to two companies, Artisan Consulting and Compania de Publicitate Mark, to organise public events.
After the parliamentary commission started its own investigation, the former Minister allegedly tried to cover up the deal by releasing false documents in relation to these contracts. The anti-corruption prosecutors also found that the former Minister asked Ministry director, Marius Mihail Marcuta, to delete from the IT system all the files which referred to these contracts.
Three other officials in the Ministry are also investigation by anti-corruption prosecutors, as well as the administrators of the two companies, Bogdan Petre Iacobescu and George Razvan Nica Udangiu.
