CSM (the Supreme Court of Magistracy) rejected on Wednesday, the 10th of July 2008, Ciprian Nastasiu's appeal to the revocation of his role as DIICOT prosecutor CSM (the Supreme Court of Magistracy) rejected on Wednesday, the 10th of July 2008, Ciprian Nastasiu's appeal to the revocation of his role as DIICOT prosecutor. The famous investigator of the kidnapping of the journalists will have to return to the Prosecutors’ Office of the Timisoara Court of Appeal. He was promoted to Bucharest from the position of chief prosecutor. We’ll have to see if, having a professional sanction, he doesn’t have to return as a simple prosecutor. From the legal point of view, the appeal of Ciprian Nastasiu is flawless.
At the end of an investigation behind closed doors, the hearing which regarded Botoş Ilie, the former general prosecutor of Romania, his deputy, Marcel Sâmpetru, Daniel Ticău, former coordinator of DIICOT, CSM has reached a surprising conclusion:
Ciprian Nastasiu intervened on his own during the meeting on the 26th of April 2006 at the Bucharest Court of Appeal to request the release of Omar Hayssam.
Due to this conclusion, the CSM punished Ciprian Nastasiu with a three-month 15% salary decrease for “interfering with another prosecutor’s work and exercising the job attributions with bad intentions".
Ciprian Nastasiu did appeal to the High Court of Cassation and Justice.
On the 14th of April 2008, a group of nine judges rejected his appeal.
Ciprian Nastasiu remained punished by a final sentence.
Prevailing the Law no 304/2004, the general prosecutor, Laura Kovesi, revoked him as a DIICOT prosecutor.
The fact for which he was disciplinary punished seems to be literary fiction. Actually, if we think about it and don’t count the absurd literature, it wouldn’t be appropriat
