Criminal law modifications may block 250,000 files
Prosecutor General Laura Codruta Kovesi declared during the meeting of the Prosecutors' General Association that over 250,000 files may be blocked, given a new rule that says that all files must have a 6 months investigation maximum period, being blocked in case the term is past due.
Also, Kovesi challenged the attempt to unify the Anti-Graft Prosecution Office and the General Anti-Graft and Anti-Terrorist Department of the Romanian Police, saying the two institutions work just fine as they are and, anyway, no one has yet asked her point of view. Still, Kovesi mentioned that unifying the institutions would have a negative impact on the files still under investigation.
