Some critics have even called it part of Security 2.0, due to the cooperation between you and the secret services. I tell him that if he brings these methods to the position of European Attorney General, he will make a lot of people very unhappy. “
“The end justifies the means?”
“All of our cases that we worked on in Romania were verified in court. So, at the European level, we will work in accordance with the law, as we have done in Romania all the time. Everything the prosecutors did in the cases was verified. in court by the judges “, said Laura Codruța Kovesi, interrupted by the journalist:” Respectfully, CCR in January 2019 said that you created a parallel justice system that operated outside the law and the Romanian Constitution. “
