Mirela Neag

Bio: 

Mirela Neag has 27 years experience in journalism, of which the last 10 are in investigative journalism. She has been working in team with Catalin Tolontan and Razvan Lutac at Gazeta Sporturilor. After the newspaper was bought by Ringier, in September 2018, they have started to publish their investigative reports in the newspaper Libertatea. The team's disclosures led to the prosecution of over one hundred persons with public functions: 31 have already received definitive prison sentences, including 4 ministers. Other 30 await conviction after having confessed guilty. The main theme of their investigative work is corruption. Following the tragedy at Colectíve music club (where 64 people died in November 2015), the team focused specifically on corruption in the medical system.
