The Bucharest Court of Appeal is set to determine the date for reviewing the DIICOT prosecutors' appeal against the decision of the Bucharest Tribunal, which rejected the preventive arrest of former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu and businessman Ionel Rusen. The two are under investigation for forming an organized criminal group and committing serious fraud. The preventive arrest warrants expire at midnight, prompting urgent judicial proceedings. The court will hear arguments from both the prosecution and defense before making a final decision, which could range from extending the arrest to releasing the defendants under judicial control. Previous attempts to maintain Georgescu's arrest were complicated by disagreements among judges, highlighting the case's complexity and public interest.
