The authorities in charge of checking whether Dan Voiculescu has hidden accounts abroad have not found anything yet. "Nor will they find, because I haven’t any hidden fortune," writes on his blog Dan Voiculescu.
There was a lot of debate about the myth of his hidden wealth in the`90s, there were government checks conducted, but also a trial after which Dan Voiculescu was found not guilty.
After countless clarification requests submitted by Dan Voiculescu for the official acknowledgement of his wealth, the state authorities have not found any evidence that he would have hidden accounts.
The president founder of the Conservative Party sent letters asking for his wealth to be controlled and submitted them before the Court of Appeal, the National Office for Crime Prevention and Recovery of Debts obtained from criminal activities within the Ministry of Justice, the National Bank and the National Customs Authority.
In August this year exhaustive investigations were ordered in the country and abroad, but nothing illegal was discovered.
"Until today, December 1 - the National Day of Romania they have found nothing. Nor will they find anything because as I said, I haven’t any hidden fortune. For me it is important that you I am an honest man" Dan Voiculescu wrote on his blog.
The president founder of the Conservative Party has explained several times how the whole myth of his hidden fortune came about.
"At the beginning of the `90, Petre Mihai Băcanun constantly fed it for 7 years, like a Chinese drop, the myth that I had allegedly managed the secrete accounts of Nicolae Ceauşescu. They used to say, not more nor less, that I had allegedly been the dictator’s right hand
Following these statements, investigations were conducted. A governmental committee led by Mugur Isarescu, a parliamentary committee and the supreme court came to the conclusions that these accounts have never existed. Although the judiciary ruled he was not guilty, journalist Petre Mihai Băcanu apologized for his statements but the myth of the hidden fortune lived", Dan Voiculescu wrote on his blog.
