He acknowledged that he built the road on the field of his family with the resources of the town hall, but rejected a conflict of interest.

“It is conflict of interest in the sense that we violated a property to make a public road. If you think we have created an advantage to my brother, you have a very wrong approach,” Negoiță told Recorder.

Asked why the legal steps were not respected for the construction of the road on the ownership of his company, the development Ionuț Negoiță said that “some people of formalities are in charge, I do not deal personally”.

“I was asked to create a public road, to make a connection between (road) of industries and field,” motivated the real estate developer.

Public resources used in the interest of family companies

The case is not an unprecedented one. In 2021, the former deputy mayor of Sector 3 Lucian Judle publicly accused Negoiță that he used the workers and cars of Algorithm Construcţii, subordinated to the Local Council, to work at the Hils Pallady residential complex.

The money represents the 10 -year rent for a private road to allow access to the public waste sorting station in Cățelu, arranged by the City Hall 3. At the end of the contract the road will remain in the property of the Negoiță family.
