I also made such notifications to the parquet bodies. If yesterday there was a certain number of notifications, today I can confirm that from the level of the structures there were made three notifications regarding three cadres that, outside their service, during their free time, leave, have carried out such activities. Other eight cadres are in documentation. The 11 cadres come from the Romanian Gendarmerie and the Romanian Police.
