The organization is strikingly not similar to the landing of some special forces, and even more so to the chatter of some accountants. A former employee of DNA Iasi agreed to present the procedures followed by investigators in the organization of the flagrant crime under the protection of anonymity, writes Ziua de Iasi.

There are no fixed rules, but only stages reflected in the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code, combined with the inspiration of investigators. A game of cat and dog, in which any mistake made can later become the subject of legal speculation.

The preparation of a crime begins with a denunciation, for example, for receiving a bribe. The informant acquires the status of a witness, as a rule, with a real person. Suspect, none. The investigation is opened “in rem”, in relation to the offense, not “in personam”, even if the identity of the person demanding the bribe is clearly known. The explanation is simple. If the prosecution was carried out “in personam”, it would mean that the person concerned would have the status of a suspect. However, this fact must be conveyed. “Obviously, you cannot tell someone that he is suspected of receiving a bribe. You go “in rem” to the screaming moment when you can also present the resolution of the prosecutor’s office regarding his status as a suspect,” explained the former agent.

A report does not necessarily mean revenge, but insurance. If Y does not complain that X asked him for a bribe, he can be charged with bribery, punishable by imprisonment for 2 to 7 years, as well as bribery. This is one of the unclear elements that have appeared so far in the investigation against the president of the Vaslui district, Dumitru Buzatu, who was arrested for bribery. The whistleblower, businessman Emil Savin, publicly stated that he did not condemn Buzata, but only the expert Radu Yudele. If there is really no denunciation of Buzatu by Savin, the businessman may be accused of bribery.

Money marked HABAR is no longer used

Together with the decision to recognize the briber as an accomplice, a scenario of further actions is established. The witness is taught what and when to speak, “put on” the necessary sound recording equipment and taught to use it without arousing suspicion. The money that will be used as bait is either brought by the witness himself, or DNA is extracted from the bank, from a special account designated for such operations.
