The Bucharest Tribunal has replaced Călin Georgescu's preventive arrest with house arrest, a decision that can be contested by prosecutors. Until the appeal court's ruling, he remains in preventive detention. Georgescu, a former presidential candidate, has been in custody since September 29 due to a fraud case involving a €1.1 million loss. He faces multiple criminal charges, including attempted coup and promoting extremist ideologies. This is not the first time he has sought a lighter measure, but previous requests were denied by the appeal court.
