The notification, which carried the opinion of the head of DNA, Marius Voineag, came without having a prior discussion and without asking his agreement.

Specialized in economic crimes, the Cârlescu prosecutor worked for two years at the Anti -Corruption Prosecutor's Office and had 23 files in instrumentation, which targeted offenses such as abuse in service and influence trafficking committed by officials and dignitaries with management positions in important institutions.

In December 2024, Cârlescu sent to the head of Ionuț Ardeleanu section that he would order the continuation of the criminal prosecution in a file that aimed in the way in which the management of the Financial Supervisory Authority controlled the activity of the Euroins insurance company.

Three weeks later, on January 23, 2025, Cârlescu received the service note by which he was assigned to the judicial section by the head of DNA Marius Voineag, a move that is equivalent to his removal from all the files he had in work.

“As president of the ASF, he exercised his duties in violation of the law because he intentionally delayed the withdrawal of the operating authorization, which led, to the prejudice of the creditors of the company with over 885 million lei,” wrote the prosecutor in the ordinance. Subsequently, the head of the section denied this measure, and on March 12, the file was classified by DNA.

“The magistrate revealed an alleged friendship relationship between the DNA chief prosecutor, Marius Voineag, and the persons investigated in the criminal files (… ASF president), but also personal interests (…), respectively the quality of employee within the ASF of the Sister of the Chief Prosecutor of the DNA. Judicial. Camelia Vlădescu, Voineag's sister, is the chief of the ASF in 2022, when the president of the institution was Nicu Marcu.

Cârlescu claimed that his direct boss, Ionuț Ardeleanu, also blocked other criminal prosecution documents, in files regarding CEC Bank or the City Hall, during the period when the mayor was Gabriela Firea.

After the completion of the checks and hearings, the report of the Judicial Inspection concluded that the independence of the prosecutor Cârlescu was not affected by the measures taken by his bosses, but this decision was denied by the head of the Directorate for Prosecutors, Liviu Mustață.

“It is found that the checks carried out are not complete, in the sense that the evidence proposed by the prosecutor Cârlescu Neculai was not administered and there was no ruling on them,” it is mentioned in the reasoning of the negative opinion.
