Justice minister considers reappointment of chief anti-corruption prosecutor

Justice Minister Raluca Pruna suggested on Friday night that she might reappoint Laura Codruta Kovesi as chief prosecutor of the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA). 

"The position is vacated in mid-May, and here I want to remind the legal provisions. So, the law stipulates the possibility of reappointing the incumbent, and if the law allows it, I think it's absolutely logical to infer that someone who had measurable, statistical results shown by the institution's annual report, so in such situations we shouldn't be hypocrites and play procedure. I will not do that and I am waiting for the DNA's report, but all the data so far make me think there's one simple thing I should do: apply the law, and reappoint the chief prosecutor at the DNA," Pruna told B1.
