Eugeniu Petrescu who presumably facilitated the meeting between former national customs chief Radu Marginean wth former Halmeu customs chief Nicoleta Dobrescu appears on the Democratic Liberal Party donors list in 2004 and 2006. According to Pro Democratia NGO data, Petrescu donated in 2004 298,000,000 lei, news agency Mediafax reports.

Moreover, in 2006, the same Petrescu appears as donating 15,000 lei to PDL. Petrescu is suspected of facilitating the meeting between former national customs chief Radu Marginean with former Halmeu customs chief Nicoleta Dobrescu. He is close to the Democratic Liberal Party with a great influence in the party, judicial sources said.  

Judicial sources said that businessman Liviu Florian gave Petrescu 130,000 euro of which a small part went to Marginean while the rest to a political party. Quoted sources said that Florian Liviu had an important influence over Marginean. According to sources, Florian facilitated in September 2009 a meeting between Marginean and Dobrescu through Eugen Petrescu. At the meeting Dobrescu received promises that she will be named chief of the Halmeu customs.
