USR MP Emanuel Ungureanu leveled accusations against Romania’s justice system and Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan following unfavorable legal outcomes for party members. These accusations, made without providing evidence, came after Dominic Fritz lost a case against the National Integrity Agency (ANI). Simultaneously, another USR member, Ciprian Ciucu, was placed under judicial control by the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA). Ungureanu alleges the justice system is completely controlled by a “clan,” implying systemic corruption. The statements represent a strong critique from within the USR party regarding recent judicial decisions. These claims have not been independently verified and are currently unsubstantiated. The MP’s remarks follow a day he described as marked by “many misfortunes” for the party.
