The National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA) says that it has made and is making special efforts to continue the fight against high-level corruption, but points out that the European Commission's latest report on Romania's progress under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism, which was released on Tuesday, also highlights certain issues that could affect the clampdown on corruption, specifically the justice package, the special Section for the Investigation of Judicial Crimes (SIIJ) and the failure to enforce the institution's technical capabilities.
"Following the release, on June 8, 2021, of the European Commission's Report on Romania's progress under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM), DNA makes the following clarifications. DNA's management, together with the institution's personnel have made and are making special efforts to continue the fight against high-level corruption, as the European Commission also remarks in the report: more cases sent to court, more convictions, fewer acquittals and more complaints registered - a sign of regaining citizens' trust," DNA said in a release today.
