The Romanian Ministry of Justice provided updates on Alina Irina Apostol's transfer from China, emphasizing that her return is contingent on paying compensation to victims. Apostol has been imprisoned in China since 2017, sentenced to 13 years and six months. While her father paid a fine in 2024, outstanding compensation remains unpaid, hindering her transfer. The Ministry is exploring payment options with her family and noted that Chinese authorities are willing to expedite the transfer once compensation is confirmed. The absence of a treaty between Romania and China complicates the process, which relies on international courtesy. Health checks show no significant issues for Apostol, and the Ministry continues efforts for her repatriation.
