Alin Mituța, mâna dreapta a lui Dacian Cioloș, a sesizat Parchetul European condus de Laura Codruța Kovesi în legătură cu afacerea BMW

Europarlamentarul Alin Mituța, membru REPER, considerat mâna dreaptă a lui Dacian Cioloș, a anunțat marți că a sesizat Parchetul European, instituție condusă de Laura Codruța Kovesi, cu privire la achiziția celor 600 de automobile BMW de către Inspectoratul General al Poliției Române de la firma Automobile Bavaria.

Acționarul majoritar al firmei este Michael Schmidt, descris de președintele Klaus Iohannis drept ”prieten”.

”Așa cum a fost descris deja în spațiul public, licitația prin care au fost achiziționate aceste mașini ridică suspiciuni serioase, caietul de sarcini fiind precis proiectat în așa fel încât un singur producător auto să se califice. Din moment ce suma totală dedicată achiziției include și o cofinanțare de aproximativ 10 milioane de euro din fonduri europene, prin Programul Operațional Infrastructură Mare, cade în competența Procurorului European să investigheze acest caz”, a scris Mituța.

Textul integral al sesizării, care poartă antetul Parlamentului European:

Dear European Chief Prosecutor,
I would like to draw your attention to a possible case of fraud through bid rigging in Romania, involving the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police (IGPR), and where half of the allocated budget is represented by EU funds.
According to publicly available information1, following an auction, the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police (IGPR) and Automobile Bavaria SRL signed a framework agreement for a minimum of 300 and a maximum of 600 brand new BMW cars, at a price of 32.000 EUR per unit.
The winner of the auction, Automobile Bavaria SRL, will receive for these cars a total of 98,006,046 RON (19.8 million EUR) without VAT, and the duration of the contract is two years. Half of the allocated sum is from EU funds, namely the Operational Programme for Large Infrastructure (POIM) axis 2.5.
There are serious concerns related to the very precise requirements for the auction, as the level of detail made it so that only one specific producer qualified for the bid. The public procurement portal data confirms that only one offer was submitted.
As a result, other competitors were eliminated for not meeting the very detailed technical characteristics required, a matter that casts suspicion about the above-mentioned auction.
According to the Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 of 12 October 2017 implementing enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, the EPPO shall be competent in respect of the criminal offences affecting the financial interests of the Union that are provided for in Directive (EU) 2017/1371.
Consequently, I strongly believe that this case requires a dedicated investigation by your office.
