Veronica Dragalin quit as head of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office. On Wednesday morning, she announced that she tendered her resignation to Prosecutor General Ion Munteanu. Dragalin explained that she resorted to such a gesture in order to stop the liquidation of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office and the PCCOCS.
“The law that proposes liquidating the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office is an attack on the justice system, an attack on fundamental values. This bill undermines the progress we have made, compromises the independence of the judiciary and weakens the state’s capacity to hold those in power criminally responsible for violating the law,” said Veronica Dragalin.
A number of MPs drafted a bill that envisions the liquidation of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office and the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Special Cases (PCCOCS) and the creation of one institution instead of the two – the Anticorruption and Organized Crime Prosecutor’s Office.
