He noted disappointed that the Court of Auditors inspectors "to retain the title of the injury all the money paid to APCN, losing sight of the fact that there is construction."

"There may be a loss equal to the entire amount. Things are made, are real, but there was never a real assessment of the already" accused Panait.

He criticized the attitude of the current leadership ANPDC, arguing that the current secretary of state, Mariela Neagu, closed work without any explanation, to reach a point at which buildings may be damaged, not in any way protected.

"Vina is a leadership which he followed and DGASPC map of Ilfov, which was obliged to make a review. What was settled was settled only on the documents assure you," concluded Bogdan Panait.

Fostul secretar de stat de la Protec?ia Copilului Bogdan Panait ?i doi fo?ti subalterni au fost declara?i responsabili de Curtea de Conturi pentru un prejudiciu de 1,3 milioane de lei din bani publici, în urma unui contract de construire a patru case pentru copii cu handicap în parteneriat cu un ONG.
Suma total? imputat? fostului secretar de stat Bogdan Panait ?i fo?tilor angaja?i Dumitru Leulescu ?i Marius L?c?tu? este de 1.296.820 de lei, potrivit raportului de control al Cur?ii de Conturi a României ob?inut de MEDIAFAX.
Prejudiciul a fost produs în urma încheierii unui parteneriat între Autoritatea Na?ional? pentru Protec?ia Drepturilor Copilului (ANPDC), condus? de Bogdan Panait, ?i organiza?ia nonguvernamental? "Pentru Copiii No?tri"(PCN), locul unde Panait a lucrat anterior accederii sale în func?ia public?. În urma parteneriatului, PCN urma s? ridice, în Peri?, Ilfov, un complex format din patru case de tip familial pentru primirea a 36 de copii cu handicap sever din centrele de profil ilfovene care deveniser? majori. Parteneriatul a fost încheiat în 11 septembrie 2006 ?i prevedea ca lucr?rile s? fie terminate la finele anului respectiv.
ANPDC ar fi trebuit s? suporte 90 la sut? din costurile proiectului de construc?ie ?i amenajare a celor patru case, iar organiza?ia nonguvernamental? zece procente. Totu?i, conform raportului de control al Cur?ii de Conturi, de?i au fost cheltui?i aproape 1,3 miloane de lei din contribu?ia de circa 1,65 de milioane ce revenea ANPDC, doar 20 la sut? din ce ar fi trebuit construit a fost realizat, edificiile începute z?când în paragin? ?i f?r? a fi conservate în vreun fel.
Conform documentului de control, la mai bine de doi ani de la semnarea parteneriatului, cele patru case sunt ridicate în propor?ie medie de doar 20 la sut?. Prima dintre case a fost construit? în propor?ie de 40 la sut?, cea de-a doua de doar 18 la sut?, a treia de 14 la sut? iar la a patra s-au efectuat doar opt la sut? din lucr?ri, conform unor rapoarte ale speciali?tilor în domeniu.
Conform documentului citat, ANPDC a pl?tit 80.000 de lei pentru proiectul construc?iilor, "a c?rui finalitate, dup? doi ani, nu ?i-a atins scopul".
Aproape un milion de lei au fost da?i de ANPDC cu titlu de pl??i pentru lucr?rile de construc?ii-montaj, în valoare de 97.700 de lei, pentru organizarea de ?antier în valoare de 145.053 de lei ?i pentru materiale de construc?ii în valoare de 682.435 de lei. Materialele de construc?ii, "a c?ror procurare s-a dovedit inutil?", nu au fost folosite niciodat?, Curtea de Conturi sus?inând chiar c? ele nu au putut fi prezentate de firma Vegas Company SRL din Ia?i, executantul construc?iilor.
Conform datelor de la Registrul Comer?ului, Vegas Company SRL din Ia?i este o firm? ce are ca obiect principal de activitate construc?iile. Este de?inut?, în propor?ie de 99,9 la sut?, de un b?rbat pe nume Ioan Levarda, n?scut în Vatra Dornei, care este ?i administrator. Restul de 0,1 la sut? din firm? este de?inut de o persoan? pe nume Gabriel Slabu. Firma a avut, în 2006, un num?r de 17 salaria?i, o cifr? de afaceri de 3,1 milioane de lei noi ?i un profit brut de 44.209 lei. În 2007, num?rul de angaja?i ai firmei a crescut la 21, îns? cifra de afaceri a sc?zut la pu?in peste 2,5 milioane de lei. Profitul brut raportat de companie pentru anul 2007 a fost de 41.553 de lei.
"Prestatorul Asocia?ia PCN pretinde c? (materialele de construc?ie, n.r.) au fost achizi?ionate, îns? f?r? a prezenta ca documente probatorii facturile de procurare înso?ite de note de intrare - recp?ie ?i constatare diferen?e", se precizeaz? în raportul de control al Cur?ii de Conturi.
Aproape o sut? de mii de lei au fost cheltui?i pentru mobil?, frigidere ?i televizoare cu care cele patru case aveau s? fie dotate, îns?, de?i au fost cump?rate în decembrie 2006, sunt "lipsite de folosin??", aflându-se la custodie fie la furnizor, fie preluate de DGASPC Ilfov, beneficiarul proiectului.
Cu al?i aproape 50.000, PCN a cump?rat o ma?in? Renault Kangoo, aflat? în folosin?? exclusiv? a organiza?iei nonguvernamentale ?i care nu este folosit? pentru transportul celor 36 de beneficiari.
Restul banilor imputa?i ca prejudiciu au acoperit cheltuieli administrative ale ONG-ului, aferente anilor 2006 ?i 2007.
În urma controlului, plenul Camerei de Conturi Bucure?ti a recomandat, prin încheierea 71 din 11 decembrie 2008, sesizarea Parchetului Tribunalului Bucure?ti, procurorii urmând s? analizeze posibila r?spundere penal? pentru faptele constatate "în sarcina persoanelor nominalizate în actul de control".
Pre?edintele Asocia?iei "Pentru Copiii No?tri", Marius Predescu, a calificat cele con?inute de raportul Cur?ii de Conturi drept "prostii".
"Este o prostie s? spui c? to?i banii pl?ti?i sunt prejudiciu. Tot ce a fost decontat de ANPDC exist?: materialele de construc?ii, ma?ina, mobilierul, electrocasnicele, totul exist?. Tot ce s-a pl?tit exist?, nu am re?inut nimic din ce s-a decontat", a declarat agen?iei MEDIAFAX Marius Predescu.
Mai mult, acesta a afirmat c? exist? lucruri care nu au fost pl?tite.
"Nu e normal c? nu s-au terminat casele, dar asta nu s-a întâmplat din vina noastr?. ANPDC, f?r? niciun motiv, nu a f?cut niciun fel de diligen?? pentru prelungirea contractului", a mai spus Predescu.
Întrebat de ce au fost decontate cheltuieli pentru care inspectorii Cur?ii de Conturi spun c? nu exista suport, Predescu a afirmat: "Este problema ANPDC c? a decontat ce a decontat. Eu ?tiu c? tot ce a fost pl?tit exist?".
Predescu a conchis ar?tând c? situa?ia este, de fapt, "radical diferit?" fa?? de cele con?inute în raportul Cur?ii de Conturi.
Fostul ?ef al ANPDC, Bogdan Panait, a declarat pentru MEDIAFAX c? nu are cuno?tin?? despre con?inutul raportului Cur?ii de Conturi, acuzând c? ar fi vorba despre un atac politic, date fiind ?ansele sale de a ocupa din nou postul de ?ef al institu?iei.
"În opinia mea este un atac politic. Urmeaz? s? fiu nominalizat pentru postul de secretar de stat la ANPDC?i trebuia f?cut un scandal acum. Uita?i-v? la tot ce s-a f?cut în ultimii doi ani ?i ve?i vedea c? actuala conducere m-a avut drept ?int? principal?", a declarat Panait.
El s-a ar?tat dezam?git de faptul c? inspectorii Cur?ii de Conturi "re?in cu titlu de prejudiciu to?i banii pl?ti?i c?tre APCN, pierzând din vedere faptul c? acele construc?ii exist?".
"Nu poate s? fie un prejudiciu egal cu toat? suma. Lucrurile sunt f?cute, sunt reale, dar nu s-a f?cut niciodat? o evaluare real? a celor deja f?cute", a acuzat Panait.
El a criticat atitudinea actualei conduceri a ANPDC, sus?inând c? actualul secretar de stat, Mariela Neagu, a închis lucrarea f?r? nicio explica?ie, ajungându-se la un moment la care construc?iile se pot deteriora, nefiind în niciun fel protejate.
"Vina este a conducerii care mi-a urmat ?i a DGASPC-ului de la Ilfov, care era obligat s? fac? o verificare. Ceea ce s-a decontat s-a decontat numai pe documente, v? asigur", a conchis Bogdan Panait.
Dup? exact doi ani de la data semn?rii parteneriatului ?i dup? cheltuirea a peste 400.000 de euro din bani publici, ceea ce ar fi trebuit s? fie un ad?post decent pentru 36 de tineri cu handicap sever este, înc?, o ruin?.
