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

George Simion votează contra publicării averilor politicienilor. În toată viața lui, Simion nu a putut justifica din ce trăiește. Până în 2020 a avut cartea de muncă la firma de Arhitectură a prietenului său Marius Lulea. Simion era plătit la mișto cu sume între 500 de lei și 3.000 lei pe lună, din care plătea chirie, mânca și protesta prin țară și pe stadioane. Ca picanterie, salariul lui Simion venea și din bani publici pentru că firmele lui Lulea au derulat zeci de contracte cu statul. În 2020 a intrat în Parlament, dar a zis că 90% din salariu îl donează. Urma să trăiască cu 1.200 lei/lună. Altă picanterie - când s-a căsătorit a semnat un fel de contract prenupțial. Simion a vrut să nu poată fi obligat să pună bani la ratele soției care luase o garsonieră prin credit. A strâns 400.000 de euro dar de nuntă cu care „a fugit”. A zis că va face un spital cu banii, dar nu a făcut. A fost în SUA la Congresul conservatorilor republicani unde un bilet bătea spre 30.000$. L-am întrebat de unde are bani (nu a decontat de la Parlament, asta e bine), mi-a zis că nu vorbește cu mincinoșii. În martie 2025 i-au apărut în conturi 50.000 de euro pe care nu a putut să îi justifice. Și azi, George Simion trăiește din cei 1.200 de lei rămași din salariul de parlamentar, plătind chirie în București și întreținând o familie și un copil mic. Fiind un om modest, George Simion nu vrea să știe lumea cum reușește să trăiască atât de cumpătat. Și atunci votează contra publicării declarațiilor de avere ale politicienilor. Dovezile sunt în comentarii. (Petre Bădica / FB) #politică #transparență #corupție
