Romanian court grants house arrest to former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu
The Bucharest Tribunal has ruled to move former Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu from police detention to house arrest while he faces multiple criminal investigations.
The Bucharest Tribunal ruled on Monday to place former Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu under house arrest, replacing his previous pre-trial detention in police custody. Georgescu is currently under investigation across five separate criminal files, which include allegations of an attempted coup d'état.
According to judicial reports, the court's decision to ease his detention conditions is neither final nor immediately enforceable, pending potential appeals. The decision follows a formal request submitted by Georgescu seeking a milder preventive measure.
