Anticorruption authority remands Senator Doina Tudor

The National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) remanded on Thursday Senator Doina Tudor in a case where the MP faces charges of being complicit in bribery. 

Doina Tudor was taken in handcuffs from the DNA headquarters to the arrest of the Bucharest Police. Upon leaving the building, she said she would maintain her innocence before the Supreme Court. 

The Senate voted on Wednesday for Doina Tudor's remand and arrest. On this occasion the defendant declared in the Senate plenary sitting that the charges against her have no real ground, lack evidence and insistently professed her innocence. 

Doina Tudor is being investigated in the case where her former husband Daniel George Tudor, president of the Insurance Supervisory Committee at the time of the offences and subsequently vice-president of the Financial Supervision Authority, is being investigated under house arrest for bribery. 

Former Senate Secretary general Ovidiu Marian is also being investigated under house arrest in the same case for influence peddling. AGERPRES
