Financial report on FNI, due in December

The financial-accounting investigation ordered by prosecutors in the case of the collapse of the National Investment Fund (FNI) will be finalised in late December, the general prosecutor of the Supreme Court of Justice (PCSJ), Ilie Botos announced on Monday. He added that conducting this investigation entailed costs of about 1.5 billion ROL, which would be covered from the Public Ministry budget. In the file on the collapse of FNI, prosecutors decided on a new financial-accounting investigation to help them pinpoint the responsibility of each of those involved in the case. The investigation should also determine the period during which the persons involved in the case worked with FNI, the sums that were deposited, as well as the list of depositors. The government pledged in the additional economic policies memorandum linked to the stand-by agreement with the IMF, to forward to the IMF a report on the trials of those involved in illegal financial operations.
