CSM: There is no decision in PG Lazar's candidacy file on the dismissal of a case targeting President Iohannis

The Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) conveyed to Prosecutor General Augustin Lazar, that the file regarding his appointment at the helm of the General Prosecutor's Office there is no document referring to "a decision on the dismissal of a case regarding Romania's President in office." 

After seeing the Report regarding the managerial activity of the Prosecutor General of Romania made by Minister of Justice Tudorel Toader, PG Augustin Lazar asked the Department for Human Resources and Organisation of the CSM to release him a copy of the "decision on the dismissal of a case regarding Romania's President in office," document that would have been in file of 2016 with the proposal to appoint him in office. 

CSM told Augustin Lazar that there was no such document in his file. 

"Following your request (...), we bring to your knowledge that, after checking the documentation attached to our file (...) (regarding the approval of the Minister of Justice's proposal to appoint as Prosecutor General of the Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice Mr Augustin Lazar, prosecutor general of the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Alba Iulia Court of Appeals), no such document was identified that would refer to the topic you mentioned in your request," said the document sent by the CSM to Augustin Lazar. 

Minister of Justice Tudorel Toader last week announced that he initiated the procedure to remove Prosecutor General of Romania Augustin Lazar from office. 

The Report regarding the managerial activity of the Prosecutor General specified that President Klaus Iohannis would not have checked the regularity of Augustin Lazar's appointment as Romania's Prosecutor General, the proposal being made by the Minister of Justice at that time with the non-observance of the legal provisions. 

"We don't know if this omission has to do with the fact that the Prosecutor General's candidacy file included precisely a decision on the dismissal of a case related to Romania's President in office," says the Report.
