[quote][B]A former Romanian judge got a 22-year jail conviction[/B] for corruption. He asked for money and other gifts to help Romanian businessmen and insolvency lawyers with favourable decisions in insolvency cases. [B]Three other judges and Romanian businessman Dan Adamescu, the second richest businessman[/B] in Romania, also got prison time in this case. The decisions are not final, according to Mediafax. The Bucharest Appeal Court sentenced Dan Adamescu to[B] four years and four months in jail[/B], no parole, for bribing two judges to get favourable decisions in insolvency cases involving some of his companies. The Court also ruled that the businessman can’t hold management positions in local or foreign companies for the next three years. Romanian prosecutors and anti-fraud law enforcers held 33 people last night in a tax evasion and money laundering case. The mayor of the Bradu village in Arges county is one of the 33 arrested, according to Mediafax.[/quote] [URL="http://www.romania-insider.com/romanian-court-slaps-22-year-sentence-on-corrupt-judge-businessman-gets-4-years/141180/"]Source[/URL] Every week at least a dozen big names get sentenced. I'm liking this change.
Now if only their even more corrupt neighbor Bulgaria started doing this as well.
[QUOTE=GoDL1Kelol;47061198]Now if only their even more corrupt neighbor Bulgaria started doing this as well.[/QUOTE] I heard something about a Bulgarian minister coming here to try and copy our Anti-corruption agency. So maybe it'll happen?
I cannot stand corrupt politicians. I understand that not everybody has the mentality to be a paragon of justice but stealing money when they already have a pretty high salary pisses me off a lot. I'm glad Romania is cleaning their government of corrupts, more countries should follow their actions.

But they'll all get their share of justice eventually, DNA (our anti-corruption agency) says they have like 5500 cases in the works ATM.
[QUOTE=GoDL1Kelol;47061198]Now if only their even more corrupt neighbor Bulgaria started doing this as well.[/QUOTE] having lived in bulgaria for a while I think that would involve a large chunk of goverment being removed. Money to fix roads in sofia amirite? also I knew the kid of the romanian ambassador to russia and the kid gave me a usb with a trojan on it so honestly I feel like that describes Romanian politics in general
The sentences are a joke though; anywhere between 1 and 4 years in jail for white collar crime for embezzlement and stealing money <legally> is probably laughted at in those high circles... Besides, there have been plenty whom have not been sentenced even though they've been under prosecutor scrutiny.

They may not get as many years as we would like. But their days of causing damage are more or less over
