Former PM Adrian Nastase faces new investigation for money laundering
The file is just set up and an official investigation is not undertaken yet. Since Nastase was party leader at the time he allegedly committed the crime, anti-graft prosecutors would not need the approval of the Chamber of Deputies to push with their investigations.
According to judicial sources, Nastase is suspected by anti-graft prosecutors that, in the 2004 presidential campaign he used electoral materials of over 10 billion Romanian Rol. It seems that the money received came from various mysterious operations.
According to quoted sources, Adrian Nastase could receive from 1 to 5 years imprisonment if found guilty.
