SURSE: Raed Arafat, inculpat în dosarul elicopterului SMURD

Raed Arafat, head of the Emergency Situations Department, appeared at the Military Prosecutor's Office regarding allegations of complicity in smuggling related to a helicopter purchase. The investigation has moved to the next phase, allowing prosecutors to decide on potential charges or case dismissal. Arafat has publicly denied the accusations and criticized the legal procedures, claiming he was not properly informed. He has contested the seizure of his assets, which was imposed by military prosecutors. Despite a court ruling lifting some asset seizures, it appears that the seizure on Arafat's property remains in effect as the investigation continues.
