In particular, it includes the names of the former leaders of the bankrupt Banca de Economii, Unibank and Banca Socială, as well as the head of the NBM Department (former BEM special administrator). As noted in the report of the Prosecutor General's Office, in total for this episode, the Prosecutor's Office sent 49 volumes to the court, containing relevant convincing evidence of the guilt of the accused. In particular, they are accused of committing "large-scale fraud in the interests of a criminal organization", and one of them is also accused of "money laundering in the interests of a criminal organization on an especially large scale." The object of the criminal case is criminal acts committed from October to November 2014, expressed in the theft of money through bank placements, which were at the disposal of members of the criminal community, with the subsequent infliction of damage on the national public budget in excess of 2.2 billion lei.
