Romanian court places former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu under house arrest
The Bucharest Tribunal ruled to place former Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu under house arrest as he faces multiple criminal investigations.
The Bucharest Tribunal ruled on Monday to replace the preventive police detention of former Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu with house arrest. Georgescu, who is under investigation in five criminal cases including an alleged attempted coup d'état, had formally requested the milder restrictive measure. The judicial decision is not final and remains subject to appeal, meaning it is not immediately executable.
