The e-mail of Daniel Guspan, the head of parliament’s office, has been used by an unknown person to communicate with all Guspan's partners, the other parliament offices of the EU countries and with managers responsible for international cooperation within the parliaments of the EU.
“The person is asking them for money in Guspan's name,” wrote the parliament office in a statement, as quoted by the SITA newswire.
The office sees the situation as an attack on the safe running of parliament and an effort to discredit Guspan on the international scene.
