Adrian Nastase

In November 2006, the National Department of Anti-corruption (DNA) charged Adrian Nastase, ex Prime Minister of Romania from December 2000 to December 2004, of corruption and bribery. According to the prosecutors, the amount of money obtained illegally totals more than € 1 million.

Adrian Nastase was accused, in time, of several allegations of corruption, like regarding highway construction concessions without competitive bidding and some illegally interferences in judicial processes to achieve political goals (in 2003 and 2004), attempts to censor media in 2004, an alleged 700 million USD bribe received by a government member upon the privatization of state-run petroleum company Petrom in 2004, some gifts from Ion Ţiriac and not declared, related on some ancient Dacian artifacts retrieved from Sarmizegetuza Regia, worth € 1.5 million in 2006, an inheritance of over 1 million euros from his wife's elderly aunt in 2006, undervalued land leading to resignation of posts, etc.

For the Romanian Government officials that are, same time, members of the Romanian Parliament, the law requires that the Parliament agrees with the charges against those members before starting a process against them.

So, the National Department of Anti-corruption sent the files with charges and proves to the Juridical Commission of the Parliament in order to be studied by the experts of the Parliament and to decide either they agree or not with the charges.

The Chamber of Deputies published on the official web site all the proves against the ex Prime Minister Adrian Nastase, together with the discussions and decisions taken by the Commission in this case.

As related by the national television Realitatea TV,  within the section "The Deputy's Box" on the CD web site, it can be accessed the documents in PDF format and any person can download and see all the proves accumulated by the National Department of Anti-corruption against the ex Prime Minister Adrian Nastase and his wife during the last three years in the Zambaccian File.
