A local arm of Romania’s Ministry of Investments and European Projects is expected to move offices. The move should save the government 720,000 euros ($836,330) from 2026 through 2029, the remaining four years on the five-year lease. The offices will now be housed in a government-owned building for free. The decision came just over a month after Public Record, an OCCRP member center in Romania, revealed the exorbitant rental fees for the offices.
