Kovesi also said the number of people indicted on corruption charges increased 40% last year.

"We are aware these numbers don't yet reflect the true size of criminal activity in the country but they do prove an obvious change in the activity of prosecutors," said Kovesi.

The activity report meeting is attended by President Traian Basescu, Justice Minister Catalin Predoiu, High Court of Justice vice-president Aida Popa, High Council of Magistrates president Horatius Dumbrava and the head of the Romanian Intelligence Service, George Maior.
