Minister of Justice Tudorel Toader specified that there was no “error” in respect to the ordinance of dismissal of the case involving President Iohannis from Prosecutor General Lazar’s candidacy file. “I just want to specify this! There wasn’t and there isn’t any error regarding the ordinance of dismissal in PG Lazar’s candidacy file,” Tudorel Toader wrote on Wednesday evening on his Facebook page. He continued with the question “how the presence of such ordinance is justified in the file?” adding that “we finally find out ‘the justification’ – the court clerk made a mistake when multiplying his documents.” The Minister brought to mind that “another ‘mistake’ also happened on March 20, 2018, when the court clerk multiplied the Secret Protocol of 2009, when she sent it to the Ministry of Justice without the last two pages, which seemed to have “stuck” to the copy sent to the CSM [the Superior Council of Magistracy].”   PG Lazar: This is a typical method of manipulating the truth   Prosecutor General Augustin Lazar argues that Justice Minister Tudorel Toader “is exploiting a registration error from March 2016,” with the ordinance on the dismissal of a case involving President Klaus Iohannis was not issued, confirmed or verified by the prosecutor general, but by another prosecutor with a similar name, Cristian A. Lazar. “I found out only after one week of suspense that the ordinance invoked by the Minister of Justice was not issued, confirmed or verified by the undersigned in his capacity as prosecutor general with the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Alba Iulia Court of Appeals, as the Minister seemed to imply, enumerating it [this ordinance] among the reasons for my removal from office. This is a typical method of manipulating the truth. The Minister of Justice exploits a registration error from March 2016, when there were selected the necessary documents for my appointment as prosecutor general with the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice. While making copies of the documents belonging to A. Lazar, the court clerk made a mistake and took his documents as being mine, because of the similarity of our names, but the respective ordinance were in fact issued by the deputy chief prosecutor Cristian A. Lazar from the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice. This severance of causes ordinance with respect to other persons reached, by declining of jurisdiction, to the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Alba Iulia Court of Appeals, a case that I have assigned to another prosecutor for settlement,” reads a message published on Wednesday evening by Prosecutor General Augustin Lazar.
