Vasile Blaga under court supervision

Co-Chair of the National Liberal Party Vasile Blaga stated as he came out from the National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA) seat in Ploiesti, where he had stayed more than two hours, that he is under court supervision. 

Vasile Blaga was cited as a suspect in a case regarding the charge of influence peddling. 

Blaga stated he will prove his innocence and answered he is the first who has to respect the statute, when asked if he'll resign from the leadership of the party. 

"I am the guarantor of respecting the statute and the party's decisions. I will act accordingly (...) I am the first that has to respect the statute," Blaga said. 

According to some sources close to the investigation, Blaga would have received hundreds of thousands of Euros, representing 10 percent of the value of some contracts granted preferentially.AGERPRES
