Cristian Pascu, the barber appointed to lead the gambling office, was dismissed by Ciolacu after only 2 days

Cristian Pascu, the “hairstylist of the stars” appointed two days ago to lead the National Gaming Office (ONJN), has been revoked from his position. The decision was published in the Official Gazette.

Pascu was appointed as vice president of the National Office for Gambling, an institution that is in charge of controlling and sanctioning operators, although it has nothing to do with the field.

Cristian Pascu has a hairdressing diploma and is the administrator of several beauty salons. He was a local PNL councilor in Sector 6.

He admitted that he has no experience in the field.

“Strictly in the field of gambling I cannot say that I have any experience. (…) If you ask me to know the legislation in the field, I really can’t help you. I was appointed there because when I was given a task, I carried it out,” the recently appointed vice-president of ONJN told G4Media.

The Minister of Finance, Marcel Boloș, who proposed the appointment of Cristian Pascu, admitted that he did not even read his CV and that the recommendation came from the PNL.

“I said that I don’t know the person and I don’t have all the necessary elements to pronounce on something that I don’t know. I need to see what kind of activity he has. Now not every time, every minister should take those CVs and say they agree or disagree. I know this way, that you can appreciate the performance after you have entered the activity and if you have an activity there…”, said the Minister of Finance.
