TLDR

  • Laura Vicol has responded to reports linking a firm with past ties to the Nordis group to the design of PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu's villa.
  • The firm, Addicted Evolution SRL (formerly Nordis Arhitecturฤƒ SRL), was involved in designing the villa near Timiศ™oara.
  • Vicol stated she has had no communication with Grindeanu for a long time and denied any personal benefit or involvement related to the Nordis group.

Laura Vicol has firmly addressed recent public speculation connecting the Nordis group, currently under DIICOT investigation for alleged financial fraud, to the architectural design of PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu's villa near Timiศ™oara. The controversy centers on Addicted Evolution SRL, a firm that previously operated as Nordis Arhitecturฤƒ SRL and shared ownership with the Nordis Group until 2022.

We have canceled all communication with Mr. Grindeanu a long time ago. Therefore, I am not interested in his reactions; we live in a democracy.

โ€” Laura VicolResponding to questions about her current relationship with PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu amid the Nordis controversy.

Vicol, distancing herself from the situation, emphasized that any communication with Mr. Grindeanu ceased long ago, stating, "We have canceled all communication with Mr. Grindeanu a long time ago. Therefore, I am not interested in his reactions; we live in a democracy." This statement aims to clarify her current relationship with the PSD leader amidst the resurfacing of the Nordis name in connection with Grindeanu's property.

I don't understand what benefits or assistance existed, visible or not.

โ€” Laura VicolAddressing accusations of potential benefits received by PSD leaders from the Nordis group.

Furthermore, Vicol sought to disassociate her family name from the Nordis group's activities, attributing any perceived association solely to her familial ties with one of its shareholders, her husband Vladimir Ciorbฤƒ. She denied any personal involvement in the company's operations and questioned the basis of accusations regarding potential benefits or assistance received by PSD leaders, including Marcel Ciolacu and Sorin Grindeanu, from the Nordis group, particularly in relation to alleged flights. Her response underscores a deliberate effort to separate her public and personal spheres from the ongoing investigations surrounding the Nordis group.

As far as I know, Nordis does not have an air fleet.
