Justice in Romania no longer serves justice—it delivers statute of limitations on demand. 🏛️⚖️ ​The case of Sector 3 Mayor, Robert Negoiță, is an open lesson in how the "silent mechanism" works to wash away grand corruption right before our eyes. ​🔴 The playbook in a nutshell: ​The damage: A massive loss of over €100 million (RON 578 million) inflicted on the local budget. ​The effort: 4 years of trial proceedings, 46 hearings, dozens of witnesses questioned, and final accounting audits completed. The case was just one step away from a verdict. ​The maneuver: The head of the Bucharest Court of Appeal chose not to extend the presiding judge's secondment. No public explanation—just an "administrative change" of the judicial panel. ​The outcome: Under Constitutional Court rulings, the entire trial STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN FROM SCRATCH. All 9 defendants and 47 witnesses must be re-questioned. ​The predictable finale: The clock keeps ticking toward the statute of limitations (deadline: 2028), ensuring the guilty walk free with public money in their pockets. ​We can no longer talk about judicial independence when secondments and panel swaps act like a political kill switch. Whenever a hundred-million-euro corruption case nears its end, someone simply presses "reset." ​Romania isn't just suffering from legal loopholes; it suffers from institutional capture, where the statute of limitations has become the ultimate getaway card for the untouchables. ​🔗 Full details in the G4Media investigation: https://www.g4media.ro/exclusiv-procesul-lui-robert-negoita-cu-prejudiciu-de-100-de-milioane-de-euro-se-reia-de-la-zero-sefa-curtii-de-apel-bucuresti-liana-arsenie-a-schimbat-completul-dupa-4-ani-de-judecata-risc-m.html ​#JusticeInRomania #RuleOfLaw #Corruption #StatuteOfLimitations #RobertNegoita #CourtOfAppeal #Romania

Gruzínské letovisko jako pračka na ruské peníze. V čem podniká motoristický šéf ČIŽP? https://t.co/TeMlsnvCm6 #Gruzínsko #RuskéPeníze #Podnikání

Na novém motoristickém šéfovi inspekce životního prostředí Pavlu Strakovi je fascinující, že úřad s 500 zaměstnanci povede z Brna. Tam zůstává nejspíš proto, že v Brně sídlí jeho firma, které tak bude nejspíš věnováno víc péče, než samotné inspekci. Že je jeho úkolem čistě zrušení CHKO Soutok a pak se bude poroučet je veřejné tajemství. Co nám přišlo že není dostatečně veřejné je to, jakým byznysem se reálně zabývá. Straka totiž obchoduje s luxusními nemovitostmi v gruzínském Batumi. A víte, čím je známý realitní trh v Batumi? Tím, že se přes něj perou a legalizují peníze, které proudí ven z Ruska. Straka dost tvrdošíjně odmítá zveřejnit svůj životopis nebo jakkoliv komunikovat s veřejností ohledně své minulosti i podnikání. Kolegyně @veinbender se proto zaměřila na to, jak jeho byznys v Batumi vypadá a jestli bychom ne něj neměli mít ještě víc otázek.

❗️Nejvysší kontrolní úřad posuzuje například problém ministra práce Aleše Juchelky (ANO) a jeho poradkyně Alexandry Semancové za více než 70 milionů. ❗️Babišova vláda nyní chce nečekaně šrktnout sídlu NKÚ ochranku, což by znamenalo, že už od ledna by kontorolorům v rozpočtu chybělo na 20 milionů. Předkládá bez zdůvodnění ministr Metnar. ❗️ “Pokus o vyhladovění instituce, aby se méně věnovala kontrolám,” říká k tomu šéf NKÚ Miloslav Kala. @VojtechBlazek na @SeznamZpravy 👇 https://t.co/CvTfRIQi1E #NKÚ #kontrola #politika
