JusMin Toader: 'Section for investigating crimes in Justice to take over DNA cases'

"The Emergency Ordinance has been adopted today, so we expect that it will be published in the Official Journal today or tomorrow. As any other Emergency Ordinance, it comes into force once with its publication in the Official Journal, on condition that it is submitted to the two chambers for debate. As soon as it's published, as soon as it comes into force, the Prosecutor General from the Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice, where this Section will carry out its activity, will have a deadline imposed by which it will ensure the good functioning of the activity, meaning the necessary spaces, the support personnel, the specialized personnel and, of course, the technical means and the other things that are necessary," said Tudorel Toader, at the Victoria Palace. 

According to the Minister, once it is called into operation, on October 23, the Section will take over the DNA pending cases and also the solved ones, from the DNA archive. "Meaning, if we were to speak in civil law terms, the active and the passive cases, the ongoing investigations and the completed ones," said Toader. 

The Minister also added that, given the provisional nature of the contest organised based on the GEO adopted on Wednesday by the Government for filling in the available spots at the Section for investigating crimes in the Justice field, that later on there will be set up the committees required by the law and there will be filled the 15 available prosecutor offices, as necessary for this activity."
