Călin Georgescu, former presidential candidate, will remain in custody for another 30 days after the Bucharest Court of Appeal upheld the prosecutors' request for preventive detention. He faces charges of forming an organized criminal group and serious fraud. Despite the rain, around 100 supporters gathered outside the court, showing a resigned attitude after the ruling. This decision overturns a previous ruling that allowed him to be investigated under judicial control. Prosecutors argued that his continued detention is necessary to prevent further alleged criminal acts, citing a new criminal case against him. Defense lawyers contested the need for detention, claiming the non-violent nature of the alleged offenses.
