After becoming public that a company of the current Deputy Prime Minister Dragoș Anastasiu bribed for 8 years with 150,000 euros an ANAF official, and Anastasiu personally discussed Mita, the kneading seized the government.
On Saturday morning there was no decision regarding Deputy Prime Minister Dragoș Anastasiu, two employees of the Government said for Hotnews, up to date with “Anastasiu File”. Due to the sensitive nature of the case, they discussed under the protection of confidentiality.
Ilie Bolojan is in Oradea, being noted by several passengers of the Otopeni – Oradea race, the information being confirmed for the newsroom. The Prime Minister will return to Bucharest on Sunday night.
Several voices from the political environment, especially representatives of Gold and PSD, have requested the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Anastasiu after becoming public that a company mostly owned by him and managed by another company has drawn up a fictional contract, through which during the period 2009-2017 he bribed an ANAF official.
Anastasiu discussed bribe in his own office, according to information from the motivation of the judges, published by Hotnews. In this case, the ANAF official was sentenced, in 2023, to 5 years and 2 months imprisonment for execution for bribery and influence trafficking.
“No decision was made on the case of Anastasiu,” said one of the people in the government who discussed with Hotnews on Saturday.
There is the possibility that Dragoș Anastasiu may react in order to request DNA clarifications, a close relative, from the business environment, said in another discussion with the editorial. This is after the anti-corruption prosecutor's office, for G4Media, said that the current deputy prime minister had the status of “witness-denunciation”.
Anastasiu had previously stated, the information provided officially and by the government to the public, that he was only a witness, not a denouncer in the file received for 8 years by ANAF employee.
