"Referring to the public statements, concerning the activity of the institution and of its representatives, consistent with its principles and missions, SRI, in agreement with the publicly voiced attitude over the past ten years, does not opine on the statements of some suspects under criminal prosecution, so much the more on the situation of some criminal cases the initiation and instrumentation of which it has substantially contributed to," Sava pointed out.

He insisted on pointing out that the accusations made in the media came into view in the context of the intensification of the fight against corruption.
