“Unfortunately, what happens at the ANAF level is not always positive. Two inspectors from Antifrauda Deva believe that tax evasion is over in the western part of Romania. These people, whom I cannot call anti-fraud inspectors, went in October and imposed 4 fines of 30,000 lei each on some people, some peasants, who were standing on the side of the road in front of their house and selling apples, grapes, which they have manufacturer’s certificates,” the head of ANAF said at a press conference on Friday.

In their minds, – continued number 1 from ANAF, – they believed that in Timisoara all clubs tax all income, that all big restaurants tax everything they sell, that intra-community purchases in Arad are registered and taxed, that in Karas there is no more contraband with alcohol

According to Heyus, the 4 received a fine of 10,000 lei each for fruit trade, and because the inspectors found 3 liters of cognac, they received another 20,000 lei each. A total of 30,000 lei each.

“These people sit in the sun all day to sell some products to supplement their income, and these scoundrels come who mock ANAF, who throw mud at about 600 colleagues from Antifraud and who go to confiscate kilograms of gold from Strehaj… I am ashamed that such people work in ANAF. As of November 1, I have replaced the deputy director general who coordinates the fight against fraud at Deva, and from Monday the Integrity Directorate is going to investigate how these two inspectors are doing their jobs,” Geiusz said.

The ANAF chairman directed the 4 individuals who were fined to file a complaint of violation against the findings report, saying that ANAF lawyers would agree to cancel these fines.
