Four Romanian Businessmen Indicted In Corruption Case Involving Fmr Interior Min State Secretary

Businessmen Nitache Stefan Badea, Cristi Antonel Bunu and Gabriel Constantinescu were also indicted in the same case for complicity in offering bribe, prosecutors said.

In November, Fatuloiu, alongside his son, reported Chelu to the National Anticorruption Department, arguing the latter tried to offer EUR1 million bribe in exchange for solving a series of cases in his favor.

Chelu was caught by prosecutors in the act of offering a EUR50,000 bribe to Fatuloiu.

Chelu is reportedly in the attention of the Department for the Investigation of Organized Crimes and Terrorism (DIICOT) in three cases relating to money laundering, tax evasion and capital market crimes.
