Romania president Traian Basescu believes that there are deficiencies in the judging of money laundering cases, the road towards a final sentence being too long. The solution suggested is to have specialized magistrates.
"It is clear that we have a problem with the speed in judging money laundering and organized crime cases", said the head of state during a debate organized by the National Anti-Money Laundering Office. Having specialized magistrates is obligatory, since deciding upon a sentence may prove difficult for a judge who is not familiar with such cases, Basescu said.
"It is in vain to convict a felon 10 years after the file is submitted to a Court, because all this time he continues his activity", says Basescu.
