"In order to ensure the compensation for the damage, the Criminal Assets Recovery Agency of the CNA applied seizures amounting to 7 217 000 lei which included cars, real estate, bank accounts and financial means in cash. The actions took place in two criminal cases initiated by the CNA and anti-corruption prosecutors for abuse of office and illicit enrichment”, the CNA statement says.

The former head of the imaging and computed tomography department of the Republican Medical Diagnostic Center was detained on July 30, 2018, in the "Tomography 1" case, following extensive searches.
