"Kidnapping, assassination or flee?" wonders on the front page, Evenimentul Zilei launched by prosecutors assumptions from the general Prosecutor in the case of disappearance of Codruţ Marta the former chief Blejnar Sorin's cabinet, while the latter was at the head of ANAF. Investigators have chatted with the wife of Codruţ Marta and businessman, Elan Schwartzenberg, who cannot explain why the man is not found.

România Liberă is trying to find out "who would have had an interest in Codruţ Marta disappearance?". Sources have told the publication, that one of their best tracks checked is his refusal to give back a portion of the amounts obtained from consultancy and advertising and taken out of the country by the networks of washing money.

"Codruţ Marta disappeared at the right moment: just look for by DNA.", finds Adevărul and notes that the absence of the former Chief of cabinet of Sorin Blejnar occurs even before the completion of an investigation which was endorsed in DNA, and was arrested at one point businessman bihorean, Attila Racz. In addition, the original issues of the newspaper presents the relationship between Marta and Blejnar, childhood friends, once partners in the business.

In the same newspaper Adevărul , where we read that "the Government could postpone endlessly increasing the electricity." Newspaper exposes a number of provisions of the future electricity bills, which would leave a loophole through which Government can block tariffs for six months, the period may be extended successively by three months. This aspect enjoys on consumers, but annoys investors finds the publication. They say that the liberalisation of the energy gives the Government too much freedom to intervene on the market.

We go back to Evenimentul Zilei, which asks: "Come to the water the economy after the rains ?". The article outlines the areas already affected in recent days and warns that the rainfalls could influence negatively the return, and so uncertain, growth, Romania. In support of the claim, the newspaper reported the views of some experts in the topic area.

Jurnalul Naţional has chatted with director Cristian Mungiu, whose film "Behind Hills" was honoured with two awards at the recent Cannes film festival. Filmmaker talks about his film and explains why the audience in Romania will see only in the autumn. In addition, the director removes also the comments in the press, that the film was both criticized and praised at the Cannes and argues: "not the film is controversial, but the subject".
