Banii de la saltea ai demnitarilor rămân la secret

The Senate's Legal Commission has approved an amendment exempting 46 categories of officials from declaring cash holdings in their wealth statements, sparking controversy. Previously, a law required officials to disclose cash and digital assets exceeding €5,000. Senators argued that declaring all cash, including that of family members, posed privacy issues. The amendment was debated with representatives from the National Integrity Agency, leading to the decision to remove the cash declaration requirement. This change affects numerous high-ranking officials, including the President, members of Parliament, and various government and judicial figures.
