Two search warrants, including one in the Capital, where the officer resides, have been implemented. Journalist Emilia Şercan announced last week on her Facebook page that she had received death threats, which is why she filed a complaint with the Police. For several years, she has published articles about plagiarized PhD theses of state officials. The journalist’s post has triggered public-level concerns. Among those who reacted were the Minister of Internal Affairs, Carmen Dan, and the Head of the European Commission Representation in Romania, Angela Cristea./opopescu
