Re: [Cz-L] Popovici

We already had a discussion whether Popovici accepted bribes
in order to hand out permits, or not. At that time the majority opinion
was that he did not. No one claimed to know definitely, that he did
accept bribes. To my definite knowledge, some people who did not have
the money to pay bribes were allowed to stay in Czernowitz.
Romanians who took over Jewish owned businesses, often obtained permits
for the former employees, because they needed them. These people got
not only Popovici permits, but also Calotescu permits.
