"I have no information whatsoever leading to the conclusion that Daniel Horodniceanu would not be the best nomination for DIICOT's leadership today. He is a team player, he is a man who knew how to perform in time at the DIICOT; he knew how to attract and keep around him people who wish to perform at the DIICOT, and I am positively convinced that he has no other agenda except DIICOT's," Cazanciuc declared on Monday.

He also appreciated Horodniceanu's sense of humour during the interview at the Supreme Council of Magistracy (CSM) for the DIICOT position.

"I think that today he [Horodniceanu] has very clearly demonstrated thorough knowledge of the DIICOT; he has demonstrated maturity and balance in the solutions he proposed; I think he also understood from the Section [for prosectuors of the CSM] what he has to do further, both in his managerial project and in terms of concrete solutions to decide for DIICOT's activities," Cazanciuc added.

The Prosecutors Section of CSM approved with a majority vote the Justice Minister's nomination of Horodniceanu as head prosecutor of DIICOT. The Council will inform the minister about its decision on Tuesday.

Daniel Horodniceanu is currently the head prosecutor of DIICOT's Territorial Service of Iasi. AGERPRES
