“When we stop asking questions we will disappear as humans. We will be cyborgs!” – Mihai Pâlșu, 10 december 2014
On the 10th of December 2014 I published the first episode of the EADS Fraud Scheme, and on the 10th of February 2015 I offered you the second episode. In the first episode I presented the reduced scheme of the EADS fraud, the connections between the crooks and the governmental decision makers, while in the second episode I showed how famous BBC journalists remained perplexed when they found out that the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA), conducted by Daniel Morar, gave a Non Prosecution decision (NUP-NPA) as big as the People’s House, in the first EADS penal file – 2006. The surprise of the BBC members was huge, as the complaint had been made by the Interior Minister in exercise, Vasile Blaga, and those who were finger-pointed were the generals of Police Toma Zaharia, Anton Gagiu, Gheorghe Carp and Mihai Bădescu! Today, 8 years after the NUP (NPA) and in full EADS scandal, the following question recurs: “On whose orders did Daniel Morar answered “Present!” in 2006?” (See the diagram in PDF format at the end of the text).
The great cross-border splinter
Today, the detailed scheme that I subject to the attention of the public opinion and the DNA prosecutors Laura Codruţa Kovesi and Mihaela Moraru Iorga, is entirely composed of information obtained from “open sources”, with one exception: in the last black frame I placed the statement of a DNA witness, a statement of an easy to imagine magnitude, thanks to the names listed as corrupted. “The EADS Fraud Maneuvers Scheme” could easily be “read”, as I chose to present it as a “laundry wire” of the fraud history, on which I hung up on hooks all the important maneuvers and steps that led to the EADS fraud, with all the main characters involved in the great cross-border splinter of several hundreds of millions of EUR. In order to notice the political-economical hydra, I also introduced in the schema the “ropes” on which the presidents, the national security advisers and the chiefs of secret services from Romania and … from Germany played “cops and robbers”.
They, who are they?!
They robbed us blind until we broke, after We democratically put them as sheep guardians. We let ourselves fooled as the Africans with mirrors and colored glass beads.
They had no respect for public money, they put their hands up to the elbows in the country’s treasury, which We fill every day.
They polished their life with gold, while We were advised to tighten the belt in order to lead the country on the road of NATO and EU.
They didn’t give us any chance to a prosperous life. A good part of us took the emigration road, for a decent life among strangers.
Who are they? Presidents, prime-ministers, ministers, state councilors, four stars generals, lobbyists with or without mustache, directors with doctorates, judges, prosecutors and businessmen with roots in the Security of Iulian Vlad.
The gods and the base of the country
The title sounds pathetical, isn’t it? This is how it should be! Because it describes the society from head to toe, from Năstase to Truică, from Bittner to Ţiriac, from Iliescu to the poor man, from Băsescu to Dorin Cocoş via Elena Udrea, from MAI to SRI, from king to peasant!
We deserve our fate, and they, the public money. We deserve our fate not for the past, but for the present which continues to be totally inactive. In the meantime, They perpetually deserve Our money. Because We expect that the “Americans” solve our internal problems, but They don’t wait for anyone. While We stand idly by, They raise weirs over weirs in front of the justice – see the cases Laszlo Borbely, Varujan Vosganian, Dan Şova and Victor Ponta.
The cross-parties and cross-borders political Mafia
All those who will be listed below received in time information about the EADS Fraud. Some of them gave laws, emergency ordinances, government decisions, military orders, they signed contracts and invoices covered from the public money, so They satiate from the State’s wealth.
You wonder by what rules was implemented the EADS Fraud? The answer was offered long ago, in 1996, by the General of Police Ion Pitulescu. In his book, “The third world war. The organized crime”, Pitulescu presented the organization rules of the political-economical mafia. Here are the SEVEN conditions to establish a “Political-economical hydra”:
A stable criminal group; A leader and a very strict hierarchy of subordination; A system of neutralizing the social control; The permanent concern to corrupt influential people from the legislative, executive, judiciary staff and the secret services; An efficient system of manipulating the public opinion; Planning and classification of organized crime actions; An efficient mechanism of money laundering.
After you read this article and you study carefully “The EADS Fraud Maneuvers Scheme”, you will see that the SEVEN conditions listed by the general Ion Pitulescu were respected and they were exemplarily put into practice by the cross-parties and cross-borders political mafia. But in the case of the EADS Fraud, they proved to be, in fact, EIGHT rules! The eighth one is essential: “A cross-border contract involving the government of another EU member state”.
The Creators of the EADS Fraud
Nothing shows up out of nowhere. For each action there is a creator. And the creator has a purpose. In case of the EADS Fraud, the fundamental question is the following: Who created the EADS Fraud, in what context and which was the motive?
Well, from the data collected, I can say that this business was initiated by important characters from Germany, France and Romania. And here are the reasons:
In the context of Romania’s adhering to EU and the Schengen Area, it was MANDATORY for us and our Bulgarian neighbors to secure the borders. So, it was required a contract with a European company specialized in borders security. Germany and France conditioned the support for the Romania’s accession to the Schengen Area by assigning the border security contract to the Franco-German company EADS. EADS, through its two business titans who owned it at that time – 2004, the French group Lagardere and the German group Daimler, promised to complete in time the border securitization, at a privileged cost. During and after completing the border securitization, Germany and France were politically obliged to obtain the Romania’s accession to the Schengen Area.
Up to this point, the assignment of the border securitization to the EADS company looks like a classic political negotiation: the strong one imposes the rules and the small one pays. Unfortunately for the public money, the Romanian-Franco-German barter didn’t stop at politics. Thanks to introducing the bribery into the equation, the political barter turned into a maneuver planned by a group of cross-border organized crime.
It is obvious that there was an evil brain that thought, planned and put the scam on the paper. Personally, I don’t know who plays the role of Mephistopheles. But the evidence show us that among the creators of the EADS Fraud Scheme are the Romanian prime-minister, Adrian Năstase and the German Chancellor, Gerhard Schröder – without them or their successors in the highest positions, the EADS Fraud would have NEVER occurred!
So, now we can talk about the fact that Romania was robbed by a criminal cross-border organized group, which meets all the conditions listed by General Ion Pitulescu.
The Initiates – those who had information
From the “EADS Fraud Maneuvers Scheme” arise some conclusions based on documents. In order to understand better the scheme and the characters’ role, I suggest talking on chapters. I start with those who had information and did not put the brakes to the EADS Fraud, although their positions obliged them to guard the Romania’s treasury. I placed them in the order of importance in the state, starting with the year 2000.

The hangers-on – those directly involved
We continue our statement with those who founded the cross-parties and cross-borders political-economical mafia. The prime-minister Adrian Năstase, who initiated – together with the ministers Ioan Rus, Dan Nica, Mihai Tănăsescu, the secretaries of state Eugen Bejinariu, George Maior, Şerban Nicolae – laws, emergency ordinances, government decisions and GIRMIFS orders that led to the theft of public money.
The Ministers of Interior who paid the invoices to EADS: Marian Săniuţă, Vasile Blaga, Cristian David, Traian Igaş, Mircea Duşa, Radu Stroe and Gabriel Oprea.
The Generals of MAI who executed the orders of the politicians and who gave, in turn, illegal orders: Toma Zaharia, Gheorghe Carp, Anton Gagiu, Mihai Bădescu, Nicolae Berechet, Corneliu Alexandru.
The “Businessmen” who participated fanatically to the theft of public money were Claudiu Florică, Cătălin Harnagea, Dorin Marian, Tiberiu Urdăreanu, Traian Mihu, Alexandru Bittner, Dorin Cocoş, Dumitru “NIRO” Nicolae, Alexandru Georgescu and Cătălin Ghigea – the one considered by the Generals of MAI as the “orchestra-man“ of the EADS Fraud.
It remains that the DNA prosecutor, Mrs. Mihaela Moraru Iorga, tell us who were the composers of the symphony “The EADS Fraud”.
N.B.: The prime-minister Adrian Năstase was the president of GIRMIFS and Ioan Rus was the vice-president of this inter-ministerial group who DISPOSED that MAI should sign the contract with EADS for securing Romania’s borders. This results from an official statement of the general Toma Zaharia – who presented the contract as a great achievement under the direct patronage of the prime-minister Adrian Năstase -, but also from governmental documents!

DNA Witness, nominates the corrupted people
I was accused that I didn’t bring evidence when I published the EADS Fraud Scheme on the 10th of December 2014. As you know, the journalists don’t reveal their sources and they don’t make a big fuss of them. Although I held much more information, I preferred to document the “EADS Fraud Maneuvers Scheme” only from official sources, the so-called “open-sources”. This is the real reason that brought me in the situation to present you this new episode within five months after the publication of the first one – the necessary time for documentation.
However, I make an exception from the “open-sources” rule, given that the information is of incredible magnitude. I offer you for reading the confession of a DNA witness who nominated the bribers and the corrupted people, as it results from an official document that bears the DNA stamp and it was received by a TV producer who allowed me to photocopy it! The DNA witness speaks about high state officials and characters from their “close” entourage, according to pages 44-45:
“The persons used by Claudiu Florică between 2004-2005 for influence peddling and bribery, through the companies Profinet and Gessa, were:
Adrian Năstase,
Alexandru Bittner,
Remus Truică,
Ioan Rus,
Marian Săniuţă,
Toma Zaharia,
Gheorghe Carp,
Petru Brânzaş – MAI councilor,
Vasile Blaga,
Alexandru Georgescu,
Cătălin Ghigea,
Dragoş Stan,
Thomas Heinstchel,
Nicolae Chirvase – lawyer of Net Consulting and former SIE director,
Dinu Pescariu,
Tiberiu Urdăreanu – UTI owner,
Traian Mihu – Felix Telecom owner,
Florin Talpeş – Softwin owner,
Frank Nagorschel – Bearing Point representative.
Other persons involved in influence peddling and bribery for signing this contract, but with no direct link with Claudiu Florică, are:
Markus Hellental – EADS vice-president,
Thomas Hein – EADS director,
Otto Single – EADS employee,
Siebert Burkhard – EADS employee,
Helmut Hugle – EADS employee,
HelmutBar – EADS employee,
Gerald de Woot – EADS employee,
Volker Hagerkoeter – EADS employee,
Ştefăniţă Stănescu – Midocar Consulting and later EADS Romania employee,
Aurelian Nistor – Midocar employee,
Titi Praschiv – Siemens Romania employee,
Walter Sperner – minister adviser,
Nicolae Berechet – MAI secretary of state,
Emilia Costin – MAI director,
Silviu Pistriţu – COMICEX director,
Gheorghe Drulă – Felix Telecom director,
Gabriel Kaufmes – UTI director,
Mihai Ianciu – UTI director,
Ioan Cordoş – UTI director,
Gabi Marin – Omnilogic owner,
Dorin Marian – former presidential councilor,
Bogdan Chirieac – CSR owner, journalist,
Dan Lăzăreanu – STS employee ”.
The EADS Hydra
The names presented by the DNA witness may become key-characters for the Justice. Along with these penal characters, credible witnesses for DNA may become all those who “worked” on writing the EADS-COMICEX contract and the First Detailed Appendix – PAD, and ended in signing these documents which led to a fiscal fraud of several hundreds of millions of Euro from the public money. Without them, the EADS Hydra hadn’t been born.
Certainly, some of those listed in our investigation proudly entered the CROSS-BORDER NETWORK. For them, it was a great honor to rob the public money under the blanket of the prime-ministers Adrian Năstase, C.P. Tăriceanu and Emil Boc.
The creators of the EADS Fraud pull all the strings in order to impede the legal process, to end it with a humiliating NUP (non prosecution) to the Romanians.
And there is a dangerous precedent. The criminal case opened in the United Kingdom following the sale of frigates to the Romanian Army was closed by the English prosecutors, when the threads of the scam reached the street of Lord William Bach de Lutterworth, minister of endowment for defense, the one who was obliged to watch for the compliance of laws. At that time, in 2006, two persons were arrested: the British citizen Barry George – the consultant of an English armament company – and his wife, Georgiana, of Romanian origin. The two persons were released without being accused, although the investigation concerned a bribe of 7 million pounds!
At that time – year 2006 -, the spokesman of DNA, Livia Săplăcan, confirmed for BBC the beginning of investigation on this issue: “DNA received a request, through a rogatory commission, from the British judicial bodies, during the month of May 2006, in order to carry out certain procedural acts concerning the couple Berry and Georgiana George. The rogatory commission is in process, but in parallel, DNA took notice today (r. n., 8 June 2006) regarding possible corruption acts related to the acquisition of two British frigates by the Romanian state”.
In other words, slightly inland, the Lord William Bach de Lutterworth “put the muzzle” to the Romanian public money. The Lord had to be saved from the infamy pillar. How? Very simple. The prosecutors of Her Majesty gave a NUP (NPA) as big as the Buckingham Palace. But which was the effect of this immoral and illegal solution issued in the Great Albion? The file opened in 2006 by DNA on this subject, where George Maior was targeted, ended with a NUP (NPA) because the file from England was closed. What’s the deal between one and another? None, but does it matter?
And if we add to this tenebrous business, with happy ending for the British and Romanian crooks, the fact that in December 2006 the prosecutors led by Daniel Morar gave NUP to a file that regarded the illegalities committed by the MAI Generals Zaharia, Carp, Gagiu and Bădescu in the EADS Fraud, we may conclude: it will still flow plenty of water on Dâmboviţa river until we see the guilty people in jail and the stolen money in the state’s money box.

The prosecutor Moraru also investigates Vlădescu
The magnitude of the scandal scared the German and Romanian prosecutors who opened criminal files in the case of the EADS Fraud. It seems that it is stalling for time so the key players can leave us peacefully. And here I refer to the most famous characters involved in the fraud of hundreds of millions of euro, from the both sides of the EADS Hydra – Romania and Germany. Of course, the case prosecutor Mrs. Mihaela Moraru Iorga has an apparently infallible excuse to justify the non-completion of the criminal case of the EADS Fraud: she has or she had in the “criminal portfolio” the Microsoft fraud, the file Elena Udrea vs. Florian Coldea, a case of a very rare IT flavor, etc.
In the IT case, we talk about criminal files having as cause software and source-code theft committed by the companies owned by the former Finance Minister, Sebastian Vlădescu – România Soft Company and Medist. The victims of Vlădescu are Omnis Group, Şerban Ghenea and Dragoş Rişcanu. Above all, the investigations are made by OLAF, in cases OF/2005/0417, OF/2010/0068, OF/2012/0648, OF/2015/0115, in collaboration with DNA, Service Chief Prosecutor Mihaela Moraru Iorga in case 85/P2011, in connection with the cases 6949/P/2004, 216/P/2005, 66/P/2007, 275/P/2007!!!
