In revealing the truth in the case of the deliberate bankruptcy of the International
Bank of Religions, was the distinguished specialist, the venerable Professor Radu
Ciuceanu, as chairman of the Committee for the Abuse and Anti-Corruption
Research in the Chamber of Deputies, for more than three years, who published
on this issue the three-volume paper entitled "The Complete War against
Corruption in Romania - Bankruptcy and Liquidation of the BIR - Action of
Organized Crime and Institutionalized Corruption" .

The conclusions of this document were included in a Joint Report of the
Committees for the Survey of Abuses and Fighting Corruption in the two
Chambers of Parliament.

To this respect, it is important to underline that by this Joint Report, the action of
the group of interest that destroyed post-December Romanian banks, was
considered to be an act of organized crime and institutionalized corruption.

As it follows, using official verified documents and data, there are revealed
accurate and rigorous information about the entire story of premeditated
bankruptcy of the International Bank of Religions, as well as its adjoining
projects, as a dramatic episode of the intentional destruction not only of the
Romanian state and private banking system, but also of the domestic capital, the
only forces that could successfully support both the re-launch and the
development of the country's economy.

In an interview with Mr. Marius Tuca, the director of "Jurnalul Naţional"
newspaper, on 21 December 2002, Mr. Mugur Isărescu, the Governor of the
National Bank of Romania, honestly admits - indirectly - answering the question:

"They said that the BNR was wrong when asked for BIR bankruptcy. Does the
BNR feel guilty about this? "Here is his answer:

"I was not here, then. I was Prime Minister. It's not good for me to talk."

In conclusion, others are to blame, others have been wrong, not me - Mugur
Isarescu.

As it will be clear below, the bankruptcy of BIR was not "a mistake", the
bankruptcy of this bank was, in fact, premeditated by a group of interest through
an action of organized crime and institutionalized corruption. The State
competent authorities refuse until now to take the necessary legal measures.
