Transparency International Romania’s position on the situation regarding the National Anticorruption Directorate
The Justice minister’s request concerning the dismissal of the chief prosecutor of the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) is just the beginning of the procedure according to the legal competences, but the issue will be settled only after the Prosecutors’ department within the Superior Council of Magistracy will give their consultative advice and after the President of Romania will express his opinion; the latter has already announced the report will be analysed by the departments within the Presidency.
The dismissal request comes at a moment when accusations are publicly launched regarding violations of the legal procedural norms during investigations; these accusations are currently examined by the Judicial Inspection within the Superior Council of Magistracy, structure that – according to the legal provisions – is independent from the Justice minister. The Romanian society, as well as the political and judiciary actors, are deeply divided on this issue. The arguments underpinning the two aproaches are, on one hand, the need for an efficient sanctioning of corruption – legitimate demand of the society -, and on the other hand, the need for guarantees that this anticorruption campaign is led in an undiscriminate and unselective way and that all legal procedures and all fundamental human rights and liberties are observed, as required by the rule of law.

While stemming the tide against corruption takes time, in the last six years many countries have still made little to no progress. Even more alarming, further analysis of the index results indicates that countries with the lowest protections for press and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) also tend to have the worst rates of corruption.
