Former DNA prosecutor Mircea Negulescu, known as “Orange”, continues the accusations in the series of interviews for Realitatea PLUS. It claims that Florian Coldea, the former SRI operative chief and SRI Prahova chief Sabin Iancu intervened in court to avoid the arrest of a businessman. Negulescu also assures that Florian Coldea went personally to the French Embassy, where he met with intelligence officials, to guarantee that the businessman will not be arrested. They would also have talked about Clotilde Armand, Negulescu also states.
Florian Coldea declared last week, when he was heard in the Special Section, that he did not know Mircea Negulescu and did not speak to him, neither in private nor in his professional interest.
“I have already pointed out that everything that happened in the Criminal Investigation Section in Justice, regarding the summons of Mr. Coldea and Mr. Sabin Iancu (director of SRI Prahova – NR) is a masquerade and I will explain why I think so. (..) From my point of view, both Coldea and Iancu should be called elsewhere, where they can give detailed statements on the involvement of their masters in the Apa Nova case and on the businessman Ovidiu Semenescu. . (…) If at the time of his arrest he appeared at the French Embassy, where he contacted two intelligence officers of the French state, to whom he guaranteed that Semenescu would not be arrested.
The former prosecutor also invoked the sequence of events after his colleagues at DNA Ploiești, who were investigating the case, demanded the arrest of businessman Semenescu.
“It was proposed to arrest him at the Prahova Court. Surprisingly, although I understood from my colleagues that the evidence was relevant and conclusive and proved Semenescu’s criminal activity in Romania, the judges proposed to place the businessman in judicial control. As far as I can assume , the only person who could talk to the judges was Sabin Iancu, he had a close relationship with several judges, both from the Prahova Court and the Ploiești Court of Appeal. My colleagues, who worked hard, were so upset by the situation that they followed They went ahead and appealed. The same thing happened in the Court of Appeal. “
Mircea Negulescu is convinced not only that the former head of the SRI spoke with the Prahova judges, but also that he transmitted to them, in one way or another, the “directives” he received from Florian Coldea. “The relationship between Coldea and Sabin was very close, they talked at night about Sebastian Ghiță’s situation. Things are complicated, but I think it is possible if Mr. Oldea were at the French Embassy in Bucharest. (…) I do not know the interests of what state it serves, but I, analyzing things like this and knowing the special relationship that Coldea had with Sabin, I refer to the phone call that he gave me at 23:00, the day he was called to Ghiță to give the statement to DNA Prahova, I believe that Sabin Iancu communicated with the respective judges and induced a state of fear that would determine them to take another measure than the preventive detention of Semenescu ”.
Negulescu also explained how the lighter sentence handed down by the first instance stood even after the appeal. “What you don’t know is that Sabin Iancu had a fairly close relationship with the judges of the Court, of the Ploiești Court of Appeals, they saw each other both in a professional context, but also at the fair. Then he had the opportunity to influence a solution that the judges could have reached in the Apa Nova case. “
The former DNA prosecutor also suggested the hypothesis that Semenescu was just a pawn and that Florian Coldea’s intervention had much more at stake. Negulescu avoided commenting on whether George Maior (the director of SRI at the time) knew about or was involved in Coldea’s efforts. Instead, another surprise name was mentioned in that context.
“At the time of the meeting that took place at the headquarters of the French Embassy, there was also talk about something about Mrs. Clotilde Armand. I don’t know why, I just know that there were such discussions. (…) “.
Journalist (Bogdan Muzgoci): Semenescu controlled a company in which he was a French shareholder. Is Mrs. Clotilde Armand spoken of in the presence of two officers?
Negulescu: We talked about Mr. Semenesc, after which they had discussions about the lady.
Reporter (WB): Well ma’am, what does that have to do with it? She worked for the French state in some way, I don’t understand?!
Negulescu: Sir, can Coldea say that?
Reporter (WB): Do you mean that the spies were talking to each other about other spies? Information was also circulated on to whom Mrs. Clotilde Armand was telling “Viva!” (…) So you mean that Mr. Coldea knows, on the one hand, that the handkerchief was put on the tambourine, in this case, and on the other hand, does he also know who Clotilde Armand works for?
Negulescu: I can’t ask him, because I have no quality to ask Florian Coldea, I suspect that he can be asked about the organelle’s ability.
Reporter (BM): So, Mr. Does Coldea know who Mrs. Clotilde Armand is? And for whom does it work?
Negulescu: I guess so. Lately, I understood, also from their programs, that Florian Coldea asked subordinate officers to collect data and information on all magistrates, judges and prosecutors, which I really believe. Sabin Iancu, with whom I had a close relationship, (…) through me he came to a circle of magistrates in Prahova, he knew them perhaps better than would be normal for a head of the county intelligence department. I guess I didn’t want to know them like that, dear, I was collecting data and information to compromise them at some point, control them, right? I don’t want to give his name, it doesn’t make sense, people are still in office ”.
(..)
Reporter (BM): Clotilde Armand is back. What are the suspicions about her? What quality did it have?
Negulescu: I suspect that the French state had some interests with regard to the respective lady. Otherwise, the situations related to her were not discussed at the French Embassy in Bucharest. “
