Basescu: Roma clans enjoy political protection, usually in package with cover-up from state institutions

President Traian Basescu said on Thursday that Roma clans enjoy political protection which usually comes in package with cover-up from the state institutions tasked with the combat of organized crime, and this is the reason why Romania's Supreme Council for National Defence (CSAT) has issued as early as in 2009 a special decision targeted exactly at the fight of organized crime.
