Senator Eugen Pîrvulescu, who announced his support for the independent candidacy of Mircea Geoană, was taken to hearings at the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA). The former liberal would be accused of influence peddling in connection with a certificate that should have been issued by the Office of the National Register of State Secret Information (ORNISS).

Senator Pîrvulescu, in his second term, left the PNL and recently joined the team of the presidential candidate Mircea Geoană. Arriving at the DNA headquarters, Eugen Pîrvulescu told the journalists, at the entrance, that he did not know why he was brought before the investigators.

The MP is suspected of inciting influence peddling, in a different case than the one that was sent to court two years ago, according to the cited sources.
The Senator Eugen Pîrvulescu was sent to court by the DNA in 2022, the prosecutors accusing him of trying to arrange a competition at the Ambulance Service. 
“Between May 28 and June 20, 2021, the defendant Eugen Pîrvulescu would have used his influence as president of a ruling party branch, in addition to a person – president or, as the case may be, member of the commissions of competition set up by the management of the Teleorman County Ambulance Service, repeatedly requesting them, both directly and through an intermediary, to prepare and send to them, the sets of subjects that were to be given in the written test of the competitions organized in the period of May – July 2021, to fill some vacant/temporarily vacant positions of medical assistant and ambulance driver II. Also, the defendant would have asked him to favor the candidates indicated by him also at the practical test/interview, with the aim of obtaining undue benefits for the latter (promotion of competitions and employment in remunerated positions). After having come into possession of the sets of subjects (which were confidential), the defendant Eugen Pîrvulescu would have disclosed them, through intermediaries, to two of the candidates participating in the competition for the filling of vacant/temporarily vacant medical assistant positions, competition which was never completed, being interrupted by the anti-corruption prosecutors,” says the indictment.
The crimes allegedly committed by Eugen Pîrvulescu are abuse of influence or authority by a person who holds a leadership position in a party, in a union or patronage or within a legal entity without patrimonial purpose, in order to obtain for himself or for another of money, goods or other improper benefits, as well as the disclosure of secret service or non-public information, in continuous form.
Pîrvulescu was elected in 2020 on the PNL lists and is in his second term. Liberal senator Eugen Pîrvulescu announced at the beginning of the week in the plenary session that he will act as an independent. “I want to thank, in particular, the fellow PNL senators, in the last four years, as well as the others, in the last eight years, for their collaboration for the liberal family. I disaffiliate from the Liberal National Group, the liberal senators, and I will act as an independent starting today”, Pîrvulescu said.
Pîrvulescu blamed the current leadership of the Teleorman county branch, set up by Nicolae Ciucă and Lucian Bode, for “destroying a strong liberal branch, destroying all our 12-year work dedicated to its construction”. Through a press release, he announced on Monday that he will join Mircea Geoană and his team, according to Ziarul Teleormanul.
