Gangsters on the Riviera Maya: Mexican prosecutor accused of taking money from Florian Tudor’s underworld group he was supposed to be investigating

The Mexican prosecutor is accused of being the paymaster of a criminal group led by Florian Tudor. He managed to conduct the investigation in such a way that Tudor’s men did not even appear as suspects in at least two criminal cases in which they were accused of murder and attempted murder in Cancun, Mexico. However, they were investigated in Romania, where they went to court and could spend many years in prison. They defended themselves in front of judges using files examined by a prosecutor suspected of receiving money from their boss, Florian Tudor. write Context

We do not have enough doctors, but we put obstacles in the way of those who ask for the equivalence of titles obtained abroad

A doctor from the Republic of Moldova, a neurologist with 20 years of experience, planned to move permanently with her family to Romania in 2018. In order to practice in our country, he needed recognition of the title of professional qualification in the specialty “neurology” and obtaining the right to practice this specialization freely on the territory of Romania. The doctor graduated from medicine at the Chisinau State University, but graduated in 3 years, not 5, as in Romania.

In order to obtain the right to practice freely, the doctor passed an exam in Bucharest. Then he submitted all the documents to the Ministry of Health, which refused to accept his request, because the board of doctors in Romania gave him a negative opinion, citing the shorter duration of training in this specialty in the Republic of Moldova. The doctor appealed to the courts, and the case reached the Supreme Court, which recently granted her the right,writes JustNews.ro

Kind regards, Ilfov. The Romanian link in the international network of “police stations” of the Chinese state

Which Romanian oil companies can no longer import oil from Russia. What replaced Russian oil?

In Romania, before the sanctions were approved, three refineries imported Russian oil, which was mainly processed into diesel fuel, as well as gasoline.

These are: Petromidia (owned by KMG International – formerly Rompetrol), Petrobrazi (OMV Petrom), Petrotel (Lukoil).

In addition, Gazprom Romania imported gasoline and refined diesel fuel from Russian oil to Serbia. The Novi Sad refinery has also been sanctioned as CRUDE oil enters Europe through a terminal in Croatia, an EU member state.

In 2021, three Romanian refineries processed 9.9 million tons of crude oil, of which 6.82 million tons were imported, writes Free Europe.

Sibiu officials asked why they park in the green zone: “the land belongs to the Romanian state”

Employees of the institution often drive their cars on the only part of the green zone, arranged in the yard of the Sibiy Cadastre. When asked why employees have the right to turn the facility’s only green area into a parking lot, its management cites a quote from the land register.

Almost 30 cars pile up every working day in the yard, which is guarded by a barrier of the Office of Cadastre and Real Estate Advertising of Sibiu. A large number of private cars leads to double and even triple parking, as well as to a situation where cars are parked on the only green area arranged in front of the institution. From the yard of the institution, pedestrian access to the parking lot, arranged on Sala Transilvania, paid parking, Radova Veza writes

The 15 million lei theft operation is ongoing in real time as you are reading now

Two brothers originally from Redeuci, who settled in Iasi, are on a conveyor belt buying companies with financial problems, lawsuits and debts to the tax inspectorate. Takeovers are in full swing, the list already includes almost 20 companies, the total debt amounts to millions of lei.

It will be impossible for the state to return money from commercial companies that were in the portfolio of these two. One of the brothers has the address of the house at Romană 37 A, but the neighbors do not know him and say that he does not live there.

The second one has an address in an old building, opposite the penitentiary, but here, too, neighbors say that no one lives with that last name. It’s an old scheme of giving away companies to people who can’t be prosecuted, writes ReporterIS

Challenges of an entrepreneur at home: “I was asked by ISU, ‘Do you have an evacuation plan for a meteor strike?’ Were they joking or not?”

Iulian Docea, a 48-year-old entrepreneur from Ayud, returned from abroad to his grandparents’ village in the Alba county and decided to restore the abandoned houses. “Everything that defines me as a person, I learned here. We must give it life and return it to the way it once was,” he says. Problems did not escape him, but the results were not expected either.

When Iulian Docea returned to the country in 2011, the village of Racis, where he grew up, from the commune of Miraslau, Alba, had only a few residents. “There were flocks of sheep everywhere,” says the 48-year-old man. “Society developed so much that this place was actually abandoned. They took everything possible, as after the war, and the houses remained abandoned and deserted. I was very hurt when I came back and saw that I didn’t even have a door to my house. Everything was broken, everything was stolen, absolutely everything that was good from the houses. There were no more fences, Svoboda writes

Holds a thin cheek with a thick muzzle: not at all with piglets. At least that’s what a recent study suggests.

Why do people end up committing crimes? And can we really be rehabilitated? A conversation with Dan Rusu, a Romanian criminologist in the UK

“Criminology was probably the most suitable field to explain some things to me. Search form,” says Dan Rusu.

Russ is 29 and has just completed a PhD in criminology, in which he examines how criminals rebuild their identities – and how they reintegrate into society – after being released from prison. He lives in the UK and teaches several courses in criminology and runs a course on offender rehabilitation at his postgraduate course at the University of Birmingham.

He believes that crime should be understood psychosocially, as the result of interaction between the individual and society, he explains,in an interview for PressOne

Are we taking revenge on Austria? Why sabotaging business through Schengen is a bad idea

Austria came out in the last 100 meters as an opponent of the expansion of the Schengen zone and has the most stubborn position on Romania, which, in its opinion, does not deserve to join the group of countries without borders.

The positions of the Netherlands and Austria provoked a sharp reaction in Romania from some politicians from the PSD and PNL, as well as from citizens on social networks. MEP Raresh Bohdan threatened to sabotage Ukrainian exports through our country if we are not accepted into Schengen.

Robert Sigiarteu wrote that “we will have to talk more about corruption in the Netherlands. About the trade in live meat, about the Port of Rotterdam and the mafia there, about how dangerous drugs are sold on the street corners of Amsterdam.” writes PressHub

Gases from the Black Sea – developments from the last hundred meters, side by side with Schengen

While Romania is negotiating with Austria – due to the visit of Minister Bode to Vienna – on a favorable vote on December 8 for admission to the Schengen area, OMV does not have quiet days either:

The Austrian company has just three weeks to sign an agreement to commercialize the gas discovered in the Black Sea perimeter: if it does not do so by December 31, it will lose its license from January 1, 2023.

A commercial agreement is a mandatory step for the transition to the construction of the perimeter and to the investment itself,write a management course

Interview by Daniel Fiott / Europe between the US, China and Germany: strategy and economics

The world is already looking beyond the war in Ukraine in two directions: Europe with a weakened Russia, on the one hand, and the confrontation between the US and China with a still uncertain Germany, on the other.

In the background, however, remains the dominant reality of the return of geopolitical competition. Will Germany repeat the mistake of dependence on Russia in the case of China?

Is the much talked about Zeitenwende in Berlin real? To what extent will this change European security and the perception of the eastern flank? Will the US remain to defend Europe or focus exclusively on the Indo-Pacific region, which has already begun to boil over?Read the interview on Cursdeguvernare.ro
