Dan Sova is prosecuted for three offenses of complicity in abuse of office because in 2007-2008 his law firm  "Sova and Associates" concluded three contracts for legal assistance with the Turceni and Rovinari power plants, as a consequence of which the aforementioned had allegedly been damaged by  nearly 3.5 million. 

The National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) announced Wednesday in a press release that Dan Coman Sova, at the time the offense was committed he was the  legal representative of SCA "Sova and Associates" is prosecuted for complicity in the abuse of office by obtaining undue benefits for himself or for another. 

According to prosecutors, in January - February 13, 2008, Dan Sova, knowingly insisted, considering the litigations that the  Turceni (CET) and ICM - SC Mines Closure and Preservtion SA  were involved in, that  Dumitru Cristea who acted at the time as the  as  CEO and the CHP officer  of the above mentioned companies, enter into a separate contract for legal assistance with his law firm to settle the litigations. 

In this way, Sova allegedly contributed to Cristea’s decision to illegally enter on February 13, 2008, the legal assistance contract  between CET and SCA "Sova and Associates". Moreover, he also defined the  terms and conditions of the contract and signed it on behalf of the  SCA "Sova and Associates", obtaining an undue advantage for his law firm amounting to  1,242,018 (including success fees), the  anti-corruption prosecutors argue. 

In another case, from 2 October to 1 November 2007, knowingly, in the context of the legal  dispute between CET and Electrica, Dan Sova would have insisted that Cristea should enter into a separate contract for legal assistance with his law firm on that issue, "contributing thus to his decision to illegally enter an addendum to the contract of legal assistance. "In this case too, Sova  allegedly set the terms and conditions of the addendum, signed by the SCA "Sova and Associates", obtaining an undue advantage for his law firm  of  1,142,400 (including success fees) the  prosecutors added. 

Moreover, in January - February 14, 2008, Dan Sova, knowingly, in the context of another legal dispute between Rovinari Energy Complex (RAC) and ICM - SC Mines Closing and Preservation  SA, urged the Director General to  enter into a contract for legal assistance related to the settlement of the respective litigation.  

Therefore Sova allegedly contributed  to the decision of the director to illegally enter the legal assistance  contract on 14 February 2008, between the  Rovinari  Energy Complex and SCA "Sova and Associates" and he also defined the  terms of the contract and signed it  on behalf of the company he represented. Following this agreement, the law firm received the sum of  1,071,336.80 (including success fees) prosecutors also showed. 

According to DNA, the total amount representing  undue benefits gained  in favor of SCA "Sova and Associates" as a result of the  legal aid contracts concluded with Turceni and Rovinari energy complex  is estimated at EUR 3,455,754 lei. 

DNA specified that in this case  they are conducting further criminal investigations on the topic.
