SURSE | Fostul candidat la prezidențiale Călin Georgescu refuză discuțiile cu judecătorul

The Bucharest Tribunal is deliberating on the preventive arrest of Călin Georgescu and Ionel Rusen, following a DIICOT proposal. Both defendants opted to remain silent during the hearings, similar to their previous statements to DIICOT. Prosecutors argue that their detention is necessary to prevent further crimes and witness tampering. Evidence suggests Georgescu was aware of the ongoing investigation and attempted to evade legal consequences by acquiring potentially false travel documents. The court will decide on their 30-day preventive arrest, which can be contested. Georgescu was previously detained after extensive searches at his residence, where investigators found cash and are examining the property for hidden areas.
