BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romanian prime minister-designate Dacian Ciolos withdrew his nomination of anti-corruption expert Cristina Guseth as justice minister on Tuesday after some critics said she had been poorly prepared for her parliamentary hearings.

He instead nominated Raluca Pruna, a former lawyer who has headed the Romanian branch of the global anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International, and now works at the European Commission in Brussels.
