GF10000051484 Former Romanian Finance Minister Darius Valcov (front) is brought handcuffed by policemen at the High Court of Cassation and Justice, for a hearing to extend his preventive arrest in Bucharest, March 26, 2015. Romania's crackdown on corruption is having an unintended consequence: investment is slowing as many officials avoid approving projects lest they become the next target of the investigators. However, observers say, getting to grips with corruption will bring huge long term benefits to Romania, the EU's second poorest country. This year, prosecutors accused Valcov of taking kickbacks worth about 2 million euros during his time as a provincial mayor. They also accuse him of making unlawful gains and discovered cash, gold bars and dozens of paintings, including by Pablo Picasso and Pierre Auguste Renoir, stashed away. He denies any wrongdoing.
