A court has sentenced a judge to 22 years in prison on charges that he
took bribes to rule favorably in several cases involving one of
Romania's richest businessmen.
The Bucharest Appeals Court also confiscated a luxury car and money from Mircea Moldovan. The ruling is not yet final.
Businessman Dan Adamescu was also sentenced to four years and four
months while judge Elena Roventa received five years and 10 months. Two
other judges were also sentenced to prison.
Adamescu was convicted of instructing his lawyer — who threw himself
under a train after the judges were arrested — to bribe the judges
20,000 euros ($17,700 ) in December 2013 to rule in his favor in several
insolvency cases involving his companies. Adamescu denies wrongdoing.
