Stelian Guli, prosecutor within the Urziceni Prosecutors’ Office, will take Nestor’s place. Guli obtained the highest score following the exam given for the vacant position.

Nestor will continue to work within the Prosecutors’ Office in the position of criminal prosecutor.

Guli’s elections over Nestor-whom his colleagues consider a “balance factor,”-displeased many of the prosecutors especially as the appointment of the prosecutor from Urziceni raises certain question marks.

Long before the exam to occupy the chief prosecutor position took place, sources within the High Council of Magistrates, or CSM, said Nestor and George Balan might be appointed general prosecutors within the Prosecutors’ Office of the Bucharest Court of Appeals.

According to legal sources, Nestor failed to pass the exam organized this month so that his position was taken over by Sterian Guli.

Guli is not at his first attempt to occupy such a position, as he had already tried to obtain a position within the National Anticorruption Department and the Prosecutors’ Office within the Supreme Court’s but was rejected both times. One of the reasons stated the fact that the magistrate is an unsteady person.

Moreover, the “Jurnalul National’ newspaper last year published an article stating that someone who wished to contract a loan at a bank where Guli’s wife worked, sponsored the prosecutor in exchange of the money. When the “sponsorship” ended, the loan application was rejected.

The Gazeta de Sud-Est newspaper mentioned real estate trades in which Guli was supposedly involved.

According to his 2006 wealth statement, the magistrate does not own any assets apart from a Volkswagen Polo car purchased in leasing system.
