Dragalin: We Can Create an Anti-Corruption Office as in Romania

New head of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office of Moldova, Veronica Dragalin, said last week that she has not yet given up the idea of creating an institution to fight corruption, as in Romania. A National Anti-Corruption Office exists there. “I want to see if that system works well, or if we need something more radical. I haven’t formed my opinion yet, but I’ve been thinking about it,’ noi.md quoted Dragalin, citing anticoruptie.md “I want to talk to the prosecutors of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office. Not everyone agrees with this [forming a DNA-like structure]. We want to talk to other experts and other institutions to make it as good as possible,” the head of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office said. PAS MPs said during the last election campaigns they would like to see an anti-corruption body similar to the Romanian DNA because the anti-corruption functions in Moldova are distributed among a number of more or less independent institutions. Dragalin also explained that her international experience will help her and the institution she leads better interact with investigative agencies in the U.S. and Interpol. “I came from the USA and I have contacts with institutions in that country as well as with Interpol. In terms of money taken out of the country, we want to work with outside partners to bring the stolen money back into the country,” Dragalin said. Point
