Georgian Pop said that SRI management representatives sent during the hearings, briefs about the fact that since October 2009 they sent to President Traian Basescu information on issues affecting national security made by Anghel Sandu and his clan.
Pop said that the respective notification was related to aspects of economic crimes .
He also added that since 2009, since the investigations authorities were notified to start the criminal investigation in the Bercea case, SRI asent their briefings directly to the Prosecution offices.
"The specification was very clearly made by the director, also in the report that we send to the Permanent Bureaus. Let’s make this distinction: the legal beneficiaries in the state - the president, prime minister, ministers and locally – the county council presidents, prefects, mayors benefit of information in the sphere of national security for their information and to make decisions, " Pop said.
"When - as required by law – in a national security action or operation there appear elements infringing the Penal Code, that is, elements of crime, that information is automatically required to go directly to the prosecutor in charge and further on, only the prosecutor in charge of the case can decide what to do with the information given. I repeat, since 2009, the SRI briefings went to the Prosecution offices and the law does not allow me to detail the content of those briefings " Pop added.
