Romanian Anticorruption Prosecutors Look Into Nokia-Local Authorities Talks

Nicoara said the local division of the National Anticorruption Department, or DNA, sent a letter to the country council requesting to see the documents for the start and further development of negotiations between local authorities and Nokia, which opened a production unit in the area.

"We have nothing to hide and we have ordered all involved divisions in the council to make copies of the respective documents and send them to DNA,” Nicoara added.

He said he does not know what the DNA wishes to investigate, but added he hopes the move is not just an action meant to gain attract voter confidence to the detriment of a positive business climate that developed in the area in recent years.

Nokia in February started production at its new plant in Jucu, Cluj county, where it assembles phones to be sold in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
