All this happened under the protection and with the knowledge of the syndic
judge Negru Cristina and other magistrates, while it remains a curiosity that after
the initiating and supervision of the BIR bankruptcy in the first years, Mrs. Negru
Cristina was promoted as judge of the Bucharest Court of Appeal - perhaps as a
reward.

Article 105 paragraph 2 The Code of Civil Procedure provides that:

"The acts performed with the non-observance of the legal forms or by an
incompetent official shall be declared null ... if this has caused the party an injury
that can only be removed by revoking them ..."

7. Based on the numerous memoirs of the Romanian and foreign shareholders of

the International Bank of Religions and their own findings, the Committees for
the Survey of Abuses and Fighting Corruption in the two Chambers of Parliament
elaborated, as stated above, a Joint Report on the Fraudulent Bankruptcy of the
International Bank of Religions, which was submitted to the Permanent Bureaus
st

desperate pressures applied by Mugur Isarescu, the National Bank of Romania

Romanian Prosecutor General in the case of BIR bankruptcy, which stated that:

"The sentences were pronounced with the essential violation of law, which led

The appeal was dismissed by an agreed pre-deliberation at the "Café Olé"
Restaurant in Bucharest - behind the "White Church" (volume II of Parliament's
paper). Enigmatic is the information that the Chairman of the Court (Eugenia
Lohan) has postponed the pronouncement because she wasn’t willing to accept a
bribe that was paid half a dollar and a half in Romanian currency, as Valeriu
Stoica and liquidators tried to pay. The appeal dismissal was pronounced only
after the bribe was fully paid in hard currency!

It is worth mentioning that, in 2003, the former Minister of Justice, Ms Rodica
Mihaela Stănoiu, informed in writing Mr. Dan Lupaşcu, Secretary General of the
Superior Council of Magistracy and President of the Bucharest Court of Appeal,
that:
