Former Head of the Romanian National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF), Sorin Blejnar, was sentenced to six years in prison with execution for influence peddling. Cout decision is not final, it can be appealed.
Bucharest Court also ordered distraint on Blejnar’s assets for the recovery of RON 12.5 million (EUR 2.68 million).
Sorin Blejnar was sued by the Ploiești DNA (National Anticorruption Department) in December 2016, for influence peddling. File refers to a public procurement procedure carried out by ANAF in 2011, when Blejnar apparently agreed with a private investor to get 20% of the value of a contract that ANAF was going to award. To get the money, former ANAF Head had to make sure the investor’s company would get the respective contract. Blejnar is said to have received RON 12.5 million (EUR 2.68 million) from the deal.
