Former Romanian health minister Nelu T\u0103taru<\/strong> has been placed under judicial supervision by anti-corruption prosecutors in a case where he is accused of taking small-value bribes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prosecutors from the Ia\u0219i Territorial Service of the National Anticorruption Directorate, or DNA, ordered the initiation of criminal proceedings and imposed a judicial supervision measure for 60 days against Nelu T\u0103taru, a specialist doctor at “Dimitrie Castroian” Municipal Hospital in Hu\u0219i, for the offense of accepting bribes on a continuous basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The measure was put in place starting Monday, November 4. T\u0103taru will not be able to practice medicine in public healthcare system hospitals as a result.<\/p>\n

“While under judicial supervision, the defendant must adhere to a series of obligations, including the requirement not to leave the country without prior approval from the prosecuting authority and the prohibition from practicing as a doctor in any public healthcare facility,” the statement<\/a> notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DNA announced on October 10 that Nelu T\u0103taru was placed under criminal investigation in a case where he is accused of receiving bribes as a doctor, including sums of money between RON 100 and 500 (EUR 20 – 100), as well as food items. The case also includes an ongoing investigation into 27 other individuals who are considered suspects for the crime of offering bribes, DNA reports.<\/p>\n

Nelu T\u0103taru was minister of health during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. He denied any wrongdoing and said he never conditioned the medical treatment.<\/p>\n
