Romania's president is not signing new chief prosecutor, suspecting she worked for communist secret service

Romania's president, Klaus Iohannis, is not giving his decree for the new state's performance.

He has told the media that he has not received any guarantees that Adina Florea, the candidate for the chief prosecutor, has not worked for the secret services before 1990, and the Communist Security Police.

Justice Minister Tudorel Toader had proposed her name to the chief prosecutor twice, as there was dilemma about her legitimacy for the post of director of state investigations.

The European Union has voiced concerns about the high level of corruption in Romania and the fragile rule of law. The chief prosecutor's decree does not only make the relationship between the EU and Romania difficult in this regard. /Periscopi
