Atac dur la Kovesi în presa maghiară: "Una dintre cele mai întunecate, mai respingătoare, mai josnice figuri"

In the wake of Laura Codruța Kovesi's departure from the European Public Prosecutor's Office, journalist Zsolt Bayer criticized her for investigating Hungarian mayor Árpád Antal a decade ago. Bayer described Kovesi as a dark figure and recounted the lengthy investigation by Romania's National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) against Antal, which ultimately concluded without charges. The investigation involved severe restrictions on Antal's duties as mayor, including a ban on his official functions and communication. Bayer highlighted that many high-profile politicians faced similar accusations during Kovesi's tenure, often resulting in acquittals due to lack of evidence. He pointed out the controversies surrounding the use of preventive detention and unfounded legal actions during that period, emphasizing the impact on governance in Romania.
