Amendments to Justice laws contravene institutional architecture set by Constitution (DIICOT)

The amendments to the laws of Justice contravene the institutional architecture established by the Constitution, the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) specifies on Wednesday, referring to the emergency ordinance adopted a day ago by the Executive. According to a press release, the General Assembly of DIICOT Prosecutors, held on Wednesday, convened for the presentation of the activity report of the Directorate for 2018, decided to supplement the agenda with the issuing of a point of view on the amendments to the laws of Justice by this emergency ordinance. "Following the consultations of the prosecutors present at the General Assembly, they decided unanimously to rally and support the views issued by the Prosecutor General of the High Court of Cassation and Justice and the Prosecutors's Section with the Superior Council of Magistrates, in the sense that the amendments to the laws of Justice contravene the institutional architecture established by the Constitution and would prevent the Public Ministry from fulfilling the specific attributions stipulated by the Romanian Constitution and the organic laws," DIICOT points out, on the institution's website.AGERPRES(RO - author: Catalina Matei, editor: Andreea Rotaru; EN - author: Simona Iacob, editor: Maria Voican)
