Blotting DNA

The ZIUA insight into the activity of the DNA (National Anti-Corruption Department) is now progressing. Although in 2006 the institution was the beneficiary of an impressing budget reaching higher than 20 million Euro, the results of the work done by the prosecutors headed by Daniel Morar were disastrous.
The DNA was supposed to handle 1,004 cases, but the anti-corruption investigators managed to complete only 365. In most of these cases it was decided not to open criminal inquiry or to stop investigations. Only 54 cases reached courts.
The Department to Fight against Crimes Adjacent to Corruption Crimes, headed by prosecutor Doru Tulus, is the most inefficient DNA structure. The prosecutors he coordinates settled 99 cases out of 428 and they opened criminal inquiry in just 18 cases.
The anti-corruption prosecutors' results are extremely poor, although unlike other similar institutions such as the Prosecutor's Office or the Police, in the DNA there are very few vacant jobs, as 98% of them are taken.
Apart from being a inefficient institution that gets lots of million Euro a year, the DNA is also very costly for the state. Like you could read in ZIUA, for a 1-month interception of a phone number's calls Romania pays about 2,200 Euro. (...)
