In a statement made for a TV station, Traian Băsescu argued that he did not even discuss with Mircea Băsescu about the case file.
In the same message, the president said that he could not warn his brother over his entourage although he did reproach it to him every time.
The President argued that not even a penny from the alleged bribe cashed in by his brother from Bercea Mondial, got to him. Moreover, Traian Băsescu claimed that he and his brother never talked about the case. The statement is contradictory to what Mircea Băsescu said during the recordings.
