Bucharest court rules house arrest for former Romanian candidate Călin Georgescu
A Bucharest court granted house arrest to Călin Georgescu, while businessman Radu Budeanu joined the NGO managing G4Media.
The Bucharest Tribunal has ordered the transfer of former Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu from police detention to house arrest. Georgescu, who remains under investigation in five criminal cases including charges of an attempted coup d'état, had petitioned for milder restrictive measures. The tribunal's decision is not final and cannot be executed immediately pending appeal.
Separately, Ministry of Justice records reveal that Romanian businessman Radu Budeanu and family members have joined the non-profit Group 4 Media Freedom and Democracy. The association manages the news outlet G4Media, which was originally launched to foster independent journalism free from mogul control.
