She can lead the National Anti-Corruption Directorate for no more than six months, during which the Minister of Justice will nominate a new titular, which he will propose to the President of Romania. In a short statement, Anca Jurma said that she would strive to ensure a balanced interim leadership in which the DNA will continue the work it started 15 years ago: ” DNA has a major responsibility in carrying out the mandate entrusted to it by the law, namely the fight against high-level corruption.
