Six-Month Review of Prosecutors Appointed by PSD and Nicușor Dan Highlights Major Cases and Political Turmoil

The six-month audit of the prosecutorial leadership appointed by PSD and President Nicușor Dan examines the work of the General Prosecutor's Office under Cristina Chiriac, the DNA under Viorel Cerbu, and DIICOT under Codrin Horațiu Miron. It finds that the General Prosecutor's Office focused mainly on a corruption case in Constanța and a few extremist politicians, while refusing to implement a European Court of Justice ruling on reopened corruption files.

DNA opened a case against Ciprian Ciucu amid political attacks on Ilie Bolojan but did not follow through on several large-scale investigations involving senior party leaders. DIICOT’s notable actions included a failed raid in Dumbrava and new charges against former pro-Russian candidate Călin Georgescu. All these prosecutorial moves coincided with a protracted political crisis that began with the ouster of the Bolojan government and continued through multiple unsuccessful attempts to form a new cabinet, highlighting the intertwining of legal and political battles.
