Prosecutor General Corneliu Gurin said the press reports that a criminal case was started against him in the past represent insinuations and manipulation. He stressed he will make effort to free society from such phenomena. Corneliu Gurin made related statements in an interview for IPN themed “Prosecution service can and should be reformed in people’s and society’s interests”. It was published on April 29, 2013.
“This is insinuation and gross manipulation. That information was furnished to the media intentionally, by somebody who was probably bothered by my appointment as their dishonest plans were ruined. I reassert that I was never invited or questioned by prosecution bodies and was never investigated as a suspect or accused in a legal case. I presented the criminal record and the PGO made this thing public. All my life I obeyed the law and the ethical-moral norms. For me, these are not simple words. These are perennial values that I will always respect,” said the new prosecutor general.
Corneliu Gurin stated that he expected such dirty campaigns. “The goal of these campaigns is evident and the people will draw conclusions themselves. Such denigrating campaigns would be planned against any of the candidate for this post. I don’t say that this is normal and I will make effort for things in this respect to change in society. I’m concerned that they attack not me personally, but the prosecution service. This is the goal. I said this in the meetings with representatives of the diplomatic corps. They have similar opinions,” the prosecutor general said in the interview for IPN.
