Romanian anticorruption prosecutors on Wednesday are questioning former state-owned railway company manager Mihai Necolaiciuc, who is accused of defrauding the company of EUR70 million.

Romania's National Integrity Agency (ANI) has asked the National Anticorruption Department (DNA) to investigate claims of conflict of interest brought against former Labor Minister Ioan Botis.

The European Commission said, in its justice report on Romania released Tuesday, that the country’s National Anticorruption Department (DNA) continued to show a steady and convincing track record of investigations and indictments in high-level corruption cases.

The Romanian High Court of Justice Friday overruled former judge Florin Costiniu’s complaint against the anticorruption department’s decision to extend his interdiction to leave the country.

Romanian environment minister Nicolae Nemirschi is not investigated or indicted in any corruption files that anticorruption prosecutors are working on, the National Anticorruption Department (DNA) said Monday.

Romania’s General Anticorruption Department said it probed over 1,100 employees with the Ministry of Interior and Administrative Reform during January-November 2007 and prosecutors charged 163 of them with alleged corruption.
