Răzvan Dumitrescu recalled in the Thursday's issue of the "Subjective" show that the current head of DNA, Codruţa Laura Kovesi, was the one who, in 2007, refuted the prosecution's decision to investigate Ion Iliescu in the miners’ strike case file.
Moreover the deputy of Laura Codruţa Kovesi was, at the time the current general prosecutor Tiberiu Niţu.
"Both in the miners’ strike case file and in the Revolution case file, Laura Codruţa Kovesi ordered the dismissal of the resolution to start the criminal prosecution. I would have believed in her action if she had taken steps for the files to be investigated . But there have been some many years since then, meanwhile we have been convicted by the ECHR , stated Răzvan Savaliuc, senior editor for the World of Justice, invited on the program.
Former Romanian President Ion Iliescu is prosecuted for "crimes against humanity", 25 years after the violent raid in Bucharest of thousands of miners, used to crush opponents of the former head of state regime.
Prosecutors decided in March to reopen the instruction of this case, after Romania’s conviction, in September 2014, by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for an investigation "incomplete and deficient", marked by "long periods of inactivity".
Iliescu has already been indicted in 2005 for "murder and attempted murder", but in 2007 the Prosecutor denied the charges, saying that the investigation was vitiated by procedural irregularities and ordered its re-start from zero.
