DNA tests have confirmed that controversial businessman Dan Condrea, owner of Hexi Pharma company, which was involved in the diluted disinfectant investigation, was indeed the driver in the car crash that claimed his life on May 22, announced the Romanian General Prosecutor’s Office, which also revealed that the car traveled on 13 routes that night.

The tests were carried out after DNA samples were taken from one of Condrea’s children, according to Hotnews.ro.

Dan Condrea, 41, was driving on a road between Corbeanca and Buftea when he got off the road and hit a tree. According to one witness quoted by the media, his car had a speed of around 150 km/h.

One of the employees of Hexi Pharma said that Condrea was a driver with a lot of experience.

In a text message he had recently sent to one of his employees, Condrea stated that he would not work in the pharma sector anymore.

The Hexi Pharma head was supposed to be heard by prosecutors on Monday and could have been placed in preventive arrest, according to general prosecutor Augustin Lazar.

A police spokesperson said that there weren’t any signs of car brakes at the crash site. He was alone in the car.
