The Minister of Defense, Radu Oprea, announced the deployment of the Control Body to the General Directorate for Armaments to investigate the awarding of contracts under the SAFE program. He clarified that final decisions regarding company selection were made at the Prime Minister's Chancellery, not at the ministry level. Oprea emphasized the connection between procurement contracts and industrial cooperation agreements, which require certification of local cooperation. He noted that the decision-making process involved various state institutions and should have included the Defense and Economy ministers to advocate for national interests.
