ROMANIAN SENATE DEFENDED SENATOR VARUJAN VOSGANIAN
17:37, 12 February, 2015
BUCHAREST, 12 FEBRUARY, ARMENPRESS. Romania’s Senate has refused to
proceed with the instigation of a criminal case based on allegations
against Varujan Vosganian and is defending the Armenian senator’s
parliamentary immunity. As “Armenpress”‘s correspondent reports from
Bucharest, the Senate took the decision on February 12.
This is the second time that the Romanian Senate is defending President
of the Union of Armenians of Romania, Senator Varujan Vosganian from
the same allegation charged by the Directorate for Investigating
Organized Crime and Terrorism. The DIOCT had charged Varujan Vosganian
with causing serious harm to Romania’s economy by adopting several
decisions while serving as Romania’s Minister of Economy between the
years of 2006 and 2008. In particular, by the mentioned decisions,
natural gas was supplied to Interagro SA via RomGas with discounts,
as a result of which Interagro became the preferential supplier.
As in the past, Varujan Vosganian sharply denied once again the
allegations against him and mentioned that the discount prices for
that company were also approved by the government and that those
prices are for companies across Europe that need additional support
from the government.
