Dragomir said prosecutors heard him with respect to the statement made by FC National former president, Constantin Iacov, according to which, he allegedly brought damages to the League.

"He sold the land, tricked Iorgulescu too (FC National former president Gino Iorgulescu –e.n.) and even sued us. He sold the team, the players and now, we are the ones making statements," Dragomir said.

Asked about the file concerning transfers of footballers, Dragomir declined to make any comments, adding that even if he had an opinion on the matter, he would not make it public.

Prosecutors first charged Dragomir with alleged bribe taking, abuse of office and forgery on November 23, 2007 after Iacov accused Dragomir of bribe taking.
