Agliceru’s problems come from the fact that was even president of some works acceptance committee made by VaTech at the Iron Gates I.
The prosecutors sustain that the abuse of office with severe consequences of which Ovidiu Agliceru was accused by the DIICOT prosecutors, consisted in the fact that himself, among with other managers that were also prosecuted, illegally admitted the final reception at the Group 6 from the Iron Gates I, considering the poor quality works performed.
Since March until now, 39 current and former heads of Hidroelectrica and of the Iron Gates I hydroelectric complex presented themselves at DIICOT so it will be brought to their notice the decisions of prosecutors to change the legal classification of 3 of them, the prosecution for other new facts included the Iron Gates I retrofitting file, and also to be heard in the same case.
After they were indicted, ever since 2010 Eugen Pena and Traian Oprea, Hidroelectrica heads in the period in which started the business with Va Tech, the Voith Siemens German consortium, DIICOT extended their investigations also for the period following October 2010. More exactly, Constantin Trihenea, former head of Hidroelectrica during the period when the Economy Ministry was led by Ion Ariton from PDL (Partidul Democrat Liberal – The Liberal Democratic Party), is prosecuted starting with the last month.
