Mikó case in Romania: Attila Markó Is a Freejack

According to Krónika Online, Attila Markó – MP of the RMDSZ in Romania – , can be arrested, because of accusation of abuse of office in relation to a property case.

However, the House of Representatives approved the requests of the National Anti-Corruption Department (DNA) in connection to Markó, this lower house denied the withdrawal of the immunity of  the Liberal Democrat Cătălin Teodorescu, who is affected in the same case.

Attila Markó informed his colleagues from RMDSZ about the case in a letter. He stated that he had not even been at the meeting of the restitution board in 2011. For the withdrawal of the immunity of Markó, 171 MPs voted, and 111 voted against it, so he will be the first MP of RMDSZ who will be arrested.

The DNA, however, placed under judicial supervision Teodorescu, whose immunity has not been withdrawn. Faction leader of the PDL group called her to resign. The representative announced that she would resign her party membership and ask the repetition of the immunity vote.

The pre-trial detention can be asked by the competent court, but it can decide so that Markó can defend himself at large, but it also can put him under house arrest.

During the parliamentary session, Árpád Márton, deputy parliamentary leader of RMDSZ denounced the Romanian judiciary and he pointed out in the connection of Markó the voting was about an innocent man who was not even at the ominous meeting. According to him, the „independent” Romanina justic system decided about the re-nationalization of a property, which belonged to the Reformed Church and convicted three people who acted lawfully – referring to the case of the  College of Saint George Szekely Miko. Márton added, that the Romanian system wants to bring back the police state.
