The former receiver of Hidroelectrica, Remus Borza, is being indicted, together with his business associate (ed. note: Nicoleta Munteanu) for conflict of interest, said Ionuţ Oprea, spokesperson of the Prosecutor's Office of the Bucharest Court of Appeal. The complaint was forwarded by the National Integrity Agency (ANI), in February this year, he said.
The resolution for beginning the criminal pursuit filed by prosecutors states that Euro Insol - the insolvency company in which Remus Borza holds a stake equal to that of Nicoleta Munteanu, in its role of receiver of Hidrolectrica, made payments to law firm Borza and Associates (in which Remus Borza holds 95% and Nicoleta Munteanu - 5%), based on 34 aid legal assistance contracts concluded between November 2012 - February 2013.
According to the resolution, Nicoleta Munteanu, a legal representative of Euro Insol SPRL - concluded legal counsel contracts with the insolvency firm and Borza and Associates for representing, drafting, signing and filing the papers for several civil lawsuits currently pending with the Court of Bucharest, in which SC Hidroelectrica was a party. The prosecutors claim that the two lawyers were part of a conflict of interest according to the Criminal code of law, and the law of insolvency practitioners, as they obtained material benefits from the 34 contracts. The amounts pertaining to these contracts were paid by Hidroelectrica.
