​My son-in-law sent me some money…and maybe I didn’t include it in my property tax return. The money was not mine, it was my brother-in-law’s, and I was just managing it. I was wrong that I should have included them in the property declaration. Since it was not my money, I said that it should not be included in the declaration of wealth,” said Mayor Bystrytsi-Bargaului.

“My son-in-law sent me some money… and maybe I didn’t include it in the property declaration. The money was not mine, it was my brother-in-law’s, and I was just managing it. I was wrong that I should have included them in the property declaration. Since it wasn’t my money, I said it shouldn’t be included in the wealth declaration,” the mayor was quoted as saying by Bistrițeanul.ro.

The National Integrity Agency found an unjustified difference in the amount of 101,120 lei and 37,370 euros between the acquired property and the income received by LABA VASIL with his family during the performance of public positions.

In a statement to Digi 24, the mayor said he explained the entire situation to ANI. “I made them an explanatory note, I wrote to them, now it’s their problem if they think so,” he said.
