Former President Traian Basescu under investigation following complaints filed against him by various persons

December 23, 2015

Former President Traian Basescu has gone to the Bucharest District 5 Courthouse in a case where the General Prosecution Service is asking for the reopening of Basescu's criminal investigation over one of his statements in 2007 when he was suspended from office. The General Prosecution Service has opened a criminal file on Basescu based on a complaint against Basescu filed by Ioan Serb. Initially, the request was filed with the Supreme Court of Justice and Cassation, which declined jurisdiction in favour of Bucharest District 5 Courthouse. "Somebody asked that I be prosecuted for false statements, for having said in 2007 that I will resign office in five minutes and did not follow through. And now, the General Prosecution Service, is asking for the case to be reopened," Basescu said early this October. On April 17, 2007, Basescu said that if Parliament votes for his suspension from office he will resign in five minutes."If, despite the opinion of the Constitutional Court, Parliament votes for my suspension, five minutes, at the longest, after the vote I will resign and summon before the voters the generators of this constitutional abuse," Basescu told a news conference at the time. Later on, Basescu retracted his resignation decision. The General Prosecution Service has opened various criminal files on Basescu following complaints filed against him by various persons.
