An accident occurred near Bucharest between Buftea and Corbeanca on Sunday evening, with information pointing that the Hexi Pharma owner, Dan Condrea died while driving his car, a car belonging to the drug producer company.
The crash was near Hexi Pharma factory.
First information say that the accident occurred due to the excessive speed, with the car bumping to a tree.
Romania TV claims the driver cannot be identified due to the extremely serious injuries but the ID papers belong to Dan Condrea. The impact was so violent that the driver lost his life on the spot. The rescue teams arrived on the scene found a completely mutilated victim.
Police sources told Mediafax nes agency that the accident was announced around 19:30, with investigators ruling in the hypothesis that the Hexi Pharma owner would have committed suicide as there were no traces of braking on the accident’s scene.
The Police sources said that the papers found in the car belong to Dan Condrea. Moreover, Condrea’s wife also came on the scene and would have identified him by his clothes.
Policemen will order a DNA identification test to say for sure that the dead victim is Dan Condrea indeed.
The 112 call to report the accident was made by a woman at 18:45. According to the Ilfov Police spokesperson Claudia Burada, there are also two witnesses of the crash, a biker and the driver of another car that had been overriden by Dan Condrea’s vehicle shortly before the impact. They are to be heard by the police officers.
On the other hand, journalist Catalin Tolontan said that the suicide hypothesis doesn’t stand as Dan Condrea would have left to take his 10-year-old daughter from his former wife and he couldn’t have resorted to such an action when he was just about to take his child.
“He was not the type of committing suicide but the type who will kill you instead. If it’s suicide, they pushed him to do that,” Laura, his former wife told tolo.ro.
At the same time, Romania’s General Prosecutor informed after the crash that the accident file is to be taken over by the Prosecutor’s Office upon the High Court of Cassation and Justice.
Hexi Pharma is involved in the diluted disinfectants scandal, with a criminal case opened at the Prosecutor’s Office.
Last week, the Prosecutor’s Office ordered two expertise checks on Hexi Pharma products in the case of the diluted disinfectants in the Romanian hospitals.
“The prosecutors of the criminal prosecution department within the Prosecutor’s Office upon the High Court of Cassation and Justice ordered two technical investigations on the Hexi Pharma products,” reads a press release.
Previously, Romania’s Prosecutor General Augustin Lazar stated that prosecutors had asked for the expertise and that it would be carried out by a Romanian institute.
Asked about the Romanian Intelligence Service’s statement that there have been notifications sent on this topic in the past ten years, the Prosecutor General said that when the investigation is over we could assess if the it had been initiated too late or not.
“The investigation is under way for now and it is a very alert,” Lazar argued.
Later on, judiciary sources revealed that several samples of biocide substances produced by Hexi Pharma were taken for tests at the Cantacuzino Institute in Bucharest.
The Bucharest Tribunal was to rule a decision on the Hexi Pharma’s insolvency request last Tuesday, but in the meantime, the pharmaceutical company withdrew the insolvency request it had previously filed with the Bucharest Court.
Hexi Pharma Co. SRL last week filed for insolvency with the Bucharest Court, on grounds that it cannot deal with the commercial and fiscal debts, following the unfavourable economic context. The company run by Dan Condrea maintained it had to pay 23.4 million lei in debts to the state budget and various suppliers, and also overdue invoices to two Cyprus-based companies, worth over 20 million euro.
On Monday, the District 5 Court has admitted the prosecutors’ request to deny the company’s disbandment.
