proved ineffective, as banks are bankrupt (one at a time) one after another.

The costs supported by the Romanian State for the rehabilitation of banks (over
USD 3 billion so far) represent about 7% of GDP. The amount is added to the
same high costs imposed by the banking companies for restitution, within certain
limits, of the deposits of individuals set up with banks in bankruptcy. "

The NBR leadership learned that during the debates, the CSAT members found

in the sense that no Romanian authority will dare to take action against those
involved in this act of organized crime and institutionalized corruption at a high
level because - in essence - it is the family of the former minister of justice Cătălin
Predoiu - Călin Zamfirescu being his father-in-law, and from some sources Arin
Stănescu being his godfather (deceased).

th
February 29 2008, the Zamfirescu - Racoţi - Predoiu law firm, representing the
liquidation firm, sent addresses to the courts using the above mentioned header
