The Bucharest Tribunal will discuss the extension of preventive arrest for Călin Georgescu and Ionel Rusen, who are under investigation for organized crime and fraud. The court will hear arguments from both the defense and the prosecutor. A previous decision to replace preventive arrest with house arrest was overturned by the Bucharest Court of Appeal, which ruled in favor of the prosecutors. Georgescu has been in preventive detention since September 29, 2026, related to a case involving a fraud of approximately 1.1 million euros in a precious metals financing scheme. The court's decision does not determine guilt, and Georgescu retains the presumption of innocence.
