Interior Minister Announces Traian Berbeceanu as New Chief of Staff

In a press statement on Thursday afternoon, Vela announced the appointment of the former chief of the Alba county Anti-Organized Crime Brigade (BCCO).

Berbeceanu is currently undergoing appeal proceedings in a case concerning an organized crime group which practiced tax evasion with oil-based products, in which he was acquitted by the first court. Romania’s main anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, accused Berbeceanu of receiving bribes, supporting an organized crime group, money laundering, false statements, forgery and complicity to embezzlement in the case in 2013.

However, in a separate case prosecuted by the country’s National Anticorruption Directorate, the former BCCO Alba chief accused his initial case prosecutors of forging evidence and influencing denunciators in his case. The three culprits in the latter case have all received prison sentences in the first decision.
