Former president Traian Basescu states that Romania could be convicted by the European Court of Human Rights for the National Anti-corruption Directorate prosecutors' actions that finalized with acquittals in court.
He claims he holds information that several people have filed complaints at CEDO against the Romanian state.
"Romania will pay a great deal of money. Do you believe that some of those who have been carried in hand cuffs in front of DNA headquarters will not receive compensation from CEDO? Because I will show you, it's written in black and white, you are not allowed to showcase one in hand cuffs, expose one as guilty until convicted. I know many people who were displayed in hand cuffs for Ms. Kovesi's glory (Chief prosecutor of DNA) starting with 2015 and who have already filed complaints at CEDO," said Basescu at private TV broadcaster Romania TV.
The former head of state gave Bulgaria's example that "received huge fines from CEDO for something like this."
