Earlier Monday, the former minister asked deputies to vote in favor of her prosecution, so that she can be able to prove her innocence in court.

Romanian prosecutor general Codruta Kovesi required Parliament approval on July 23 for the opening of criminal investigations on former youth and sports minister Monica Iacob Ridzi over misappropriation of public money.

Ridzi stepped down as youth and sports minister on July 14, saying she wanted to protect the reputation of the government and of her own Liberal Party (PNL).
