A penal investigation has been started at the Giulesti maternity ward, as Marius Iacob, chief prosecutor of the Penal Prosecution Division at the Supreme Court, has declared, Mediafax informs.

According to Iacob, several employees of the Giulesti maternity ward have been questioned so far, yet the nurse responsible for the Intensive Care section could not participate in the hearings, as she is in a state of shock from the accident. All the hearings are taking place at the Bucharest Police. The conclusions of the investigation are expected to be finalized in a few days, Iacob has added.

After the explosion that took place on Monday, August 16, at the Giulesti maternity ward, four new-born babies died and seven were severely injured.
