Romanian President Calls For Sustained Fight Against Tax Evasion

Basescu said the country’s High Council for Defense has established that tax evasion has become a threat to national security.

The fight against tax evasion and evaders must be stepped up and continue and no one must be spared,” said Basescu, adding nothing weakens a state more than the lowering of the financial resources to which it is entitled.

The head of state said any money or assets stolen from the state is an attack to social security, the functioning of the state’s institutions and immoral.

„The fight against tax evasion remains a priority,” Basescu said.
