www.romania-actualitati.ro: László Borbély suspected of ‘influence peddling’

According to the prosecutors of the NAD, the Minister of Environment, László Borbély, is involved in an influence peddling record, in which his advisor, Szepessy Szabolcs, has already been put under accusation.

The prosecutors of the National Anticorruption Directorate state that the Minister of Environment, László Borbély, is involved in the preferential granting of some projects to a specific company. In exchange for the contracts, the owner of the company in question has renovated an apartment with the sum of 20 000 euros, the beneficiary being László Borbély himself.

The Minister of Environment, László Borbély, does not comment upon the alleged involvement in an influence peddling case, an official of the Ministry of Environment and Forests declared for Radio Romania Actualităţi.

The Minister is presently abroad and, until his return from Poland, where he is partaking in the Environment Informal Council of the European Union, the press bureau of the institution has nothing to declare.

The anticorruption prosecutors from Oradea have already commenced the criminal investigation in this file against Ioan Ciocan from Negreşti, Oaş, who is the sole associate of the company which benefits from the projects, as well as against László Borbély’s personal advisor, Szepessy Szabolcs, who has supposedly acted as an intermediary between the businessman and the Minister, according to the data communicated by NAD.

According to the institution, Ioan Ciocan has improved an apartment of the Minister with a sum of 20.000 Euros from the company’s money.
