Bucharest court grants house arrest to Călin Georgescu
A Bucharest court ruled to move former Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu to house arrest, while businessman Radu Budeanu joined the non-profit behind G4Media.
The Bucharest Tribunal has ruled to replace the police detention of former Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu with house arrest. Georgescu is currently under investigation across five separate criminal files, which include charges of an attempted coup. The ruling remains non-final and non-executable, as prosecutors retain the right to appeal the tribunal's decision.
Separately, public registry records from the Ministry of Justice revealed that media businessman Radu Budeanu and members of his family have joined the Group 4 Media Freedom and Democracy association. The non-profit organisation originally founded the independent news website G4Media to foster journalism independent of media moguls.
