The chief prosecutor in charge of investigating bank fraud has resigned, Veronica Dragalin has announced. The head of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (PA) made the statement on the national television studio, noting that the official was among 10 of her subordinates who decided to leave the post in June.
The PA chief also mentioned that four resigned prosecutors represented the institution in court. Thus, the pressure on the other officials of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office is increasing due to the large case number.
“We had four prosecutors who resigned from the section for representing the prosecution in court, where we have about 500 criminal cases. When only six prosecutors remain out of the original ten, they must handle hundreds of cases. It becomes much more difficult to cope,” Dragalin said.
