Traian Băsescu, despre arestarea lui Călin Georgescu: „De ce trebuie să le pui cătușe la gulerele albe?”

Traian Băsescu criticized the arrest of Călin Georgescu, questioning the necessity of handcuffing him and denouncing the media spectacle surrounding the case. He expressed concern over the release of case documents to the press, suggesting it pressures both judges and the accused. Băsescu emphasized that Georgescu does not fit the profile of a violent criminal, arguing against the treatment he received during the arrest.
