“The action represents a continuation of the steps taken by ANAF for the recognition of the property right of the State and recovery of compensations determined by the lack of use of this building.
Considering that the defendants refused the voluntary payment, in the action the court was also requested to institute security measures on their assets, to guarantee the recovery of the sums due to the State.
ANAF assures the public opinion that all legal measures will be taken quickly to defend all the interests of the Romanian State”, ANAF informed on Thursday.
The former president and his wife must return to the state approximately 4.7 million lei (approximately one million euros), representing rents, interest and penalties for the commercial space retroceded between 2001-2015 and later recovered by the state. ANAF will sue the Iohannis family to recover the money.
In October, the National Fiscal Administration Agency (ANAF) took possession of half of the building located on Nicolae Bălcescu street no. 29, in the center of Sibiu, which belonged to the Klaus and Carmen Iohannis family. The takeover was achieved by changing the door handle and drawing up a report, in the absence of the former owners.
The inspectors had to enter the building by forcing one of the entrances. “Being in this situation, our colleagues forced one of the entrances and penetrated inside the building. Inside the building, they proceeded to inventory the goods there, found that the building is in a state of disrepair and that the key to the building is in one of the doors”the ANAF president explained on October 3.
“Until the present date, we have no indications that the two spouses want to pay the amounts owed. ANAF will proceed to initiate the action in court against the two spouses and will additionally request the payment of the amount and insurance measures on the assets, in order to recover the damage owed”, he added.
