The head of DNA, Marius Voigniag, said in an interview with G4Media.ro that he did not request information from the Romanian intelligence service that could become evidence in corruption cases, but would ask for it in the future.

“There is a paradigm shift especially in criminal cases. The concept of the 2016 DRC decision practically changes in the sense that everything that can be used from national security mandates, after declassification, can be evidence in criminal cases. But this request must come from us. We tried not to overdo it and not to use the procedure from the very beginning,” said the head of DNA.

Regarding the opening and closing of Nikolae Chuke’s plagiarism file, Wojniag says that he had no role then and that only procedure was followed.

“It was a complaint, a notification about plagiarism, which is registered in P4, in the criminal register, a number is assigned and the investigation is ongoing. But, from my point of view, when you prosecute a criminal case, you also leave autonomy to the prosecutor. He decides whether he needs to check whether there are any forgeries in that case… Any prosecutor who was a deputy in the department at the time would have done the same thing: he would have put the visa on the record. complaint and open the folder. It was a very simple matter,” Voyneg told G4media.ro.
