The organization of a flagrant has little resemblance to a landing of any special force, what more to the chatter of some accountants. A former employee of DNA Iasi agreed, under the protection of anonymity, to present the procedures followed by the investigators in organizing a flagrant, writes Ziua de Iasi.

There are no fixed rules, but only stages reflected in the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, combined with the inspiration of the investigators. A game of cat and dog, in which any mistake committed can later be speculated on by the lawyers.
The preparation of a flagrante begins with a denunciation for, for example, claiming a bribe. The informant acquires the status of a witness, usually with a real identity. The suspect, none. The investigations are started “in rem”, regarding the deed, not “in personam”, even if the identity of the one who claimed the bribe is obviously known. The explanation is simple. If the prosecution were to be carried out “in personam”, it would mean that the person concerned would have the status of a suspect. However, this fact must be communicated. “Obviously, you cannot tell someone that they are suspected of claiming a bribe. You go “in rem” until the flagrant moment, when you can also present the prosecutor’s order regarding his status as a suspect”, explained the former agent.
The report does not necessarily represent revenge, but insurance. If Y does not complain that X asked him for a bribe, he could be accused of bribery, punishable by imprisonment for a term between 2 and 7 years, as well as bribery. It is one of the unclear elements that have appeared so far in the investigation targeting the president of the Vaslui County Council, Dumitru Buzatu, arrested for bribery. The whistleblower, businessman Emil Savin, publicly declared that he did not denounce Buzatu, but only the expert Radu Judele. If there really is no denunciation on Buzatu’s name made by Savin, the businessman can be accused of bribery.
Money marked with BRIBE is no longer used
Along with the ordinance designating the briber as a collaborator, the scenario of the future action is also established. The witness is trained on what to say and when, is “dressed” with the necessary recording equipment and taught to use it without arousing suspicion. The money that will be used as bait is either brought by the witness himself, or taken out by DNA from the bank, from the special account intended for such operations
