Romania's anti-corruption body the DNA ordered the former head of the country's Tax Administration Sorin Blejnar (in picture) not to leave the country for 30 days while he is being investigated for complicity in tax evasion and supporting an organized crime group, according to local media, quoting judicial sources.

Blejnar appeared in front of the DNA prosecutors on Tuesday (July 17 ), when he heard the accusations and also attended a hearing. He said he knew nothing about the file in which he is accused. In the same file, Blejnar's former chief of cabinet Codrut Marta and the former head of Customs Viorel Comăniţă are also accused of EUR 15 million tax evasion.
