Prosecutors charged Romania’s former Prime Minister Calin Popescu-Tariceanu on Monday with “demanding and indirectly receiving material goods worth $800,000” from an Austrian company between 2007 and 2008.

In exchange, the politician is suspected of having used his power as prime minister to push “a series of decisions favorable to the company”, the National Directorate Against Corruption said in a statement.

Tariceanu, who is 69 and currently does not hold any political office, was leader of the National Liberal Party, PNL, and ran the country as a prime minister between December 2004 and December 2008.
