Paul Finta, a 35-year-old lawyer, has been appointed as the new prefect of Timiș County. This appointment follows the resignation of Elena Micicoi, formerly of the USR party, who stepped down after being targeted by a European Prosecutor's Office investigation. Micicoi’s departure left the position vacant, prompting the swift appointment of Finta. Details of the investigation involving Micicoi have not been fully disclosed. The appointment was made on Thursday, marking a change in leadership for the Timiș County administration. Finta’s legal background may influence his approach to the role. This change occurs within the context of ongoing scrutiny of public officials.
