A police officer was sentenced to four years and four months in prison for causing a fatal accident that killed a 21-year-old student in Poiana Brașov. The victim's family deems the punishment too lenient and plans to appeal. The incident occurred on November 30, 2024, when the officer, driving under the influence and on the wrong side of the road, collided with the student and his girlfriend. The officer was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.78 mg/l. Despite being charged with manslaughter and driving under the influence, he spent only 24 hours in custody due to procedural errors. The family is seeking justice, arguing that the sentence does not reflect the severity of the crime.
