AUR Rejects Detention of Călin Georgescu as Legal Challenge Proceeds
The Bucharest Court of Appeal overturned a lower court decision and ordered the 30-day preventive detention of former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu. His party, AUR, has condemned the move as political pressure, while his legal team describes the ruling as ’hallucinating’ and plans further legal action. The case stems from DIICOT charges of fraud.
