Justice knocked on Ion Iliescu’s door , at the door of the Conservative Party leader Dan Voiculescu accused of money laundering, and that of Zsolt Nagy, member UDMR and Minister of Telecommunications, also suspected of tax evasion. Here's what united them. I'm not saying that the 322 MPs who voted against me are acting against the law, but they had to comply with the orders given by their superiors, a few dozens of people who do not yet have a clear conscience.
