The Directorate for Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) has summed up its 10-year activity: 30,831 people indicted, precautionary measures amounting to over EUR 1.16 billion, the seizure of 8.5 tons of drugs and 64,564 resolved files.

"DIICOT was a generous project that finally confirmed that we could collaborate with 50 countries, making joint investigation teams, that we could solve cases that can be taught at any seminar where you learn how to fight organized crime and terrorism," said DIICOT interim chief prosecutor, Giorgiana Hossu, cited by local Mediafax.

Hossu took over this position after former DIICOT head Alina Bica was arrested in November by the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) in the restitution file for an overpriced piece of land.
