The much-feared agents of the secret service in the Interior Ministry unveiled themselves as if they had been some amateurs. 469 employees of the DGIPI (General Department of Information and Domestic Protection) sued the state and this is how the real names of under cover officers came out.
They risked their cover-ups and even their lives to be paid some holiday bonuses. On the list of the greatest uncovering in Romania there are the two inspectors heading the DGIPI: Constantin Darna and Neculae Plaiasu.
The DGIPI chief Petru Albu did not address the court because he had just taken over the department from Virgil Ardelean, known as The Fox. The latter is now gone and he left the agents unpaid and on the verge of revolt. The trick may have been plotted to discredit the new officials.
What is certain is that the agents' stupidity jeopardized some missions and even the lives of some who made fools of themselves for some extra wages.
Cristian David, the Romanian interior minister, is sorry that an intelligence service chose this way to argue for their right to bonuses. According to the minister, the initiative has been "awkward and unprofessional". The list of the agents complaining to the Bucharest Court of Appeal was on the courtroom's door. And now in can read it in today's newspaper too. (...)
