Former Prime Minister Petre Roman reported on Wednesday to the General Prosecution offices to be heard by military prosecutors in the case of the December 1989 Revolution.
In June 2016 the High Court of Cassation and Justice upheld the General Prosecution's decision to reopen this case.
In April 2016 then acting Prosecutor General Bogdan Licu announced the reopening of the probe on ground that the Military Prosecution's October 2015 ruling to close the case is ungrounded and illegal "as it was adopted on the basis of incomplete investigations, while ignoring key information, data and documents relating to the events of 1989, which resulted in determining an incomplete and in some respects wrong state of facts and consequently in the erroneous legal classification thereof, which thwarted the quest for truth and the identification of all the perpetrators and of the perpetrators behind the perpetrators."
Under an Order of November 1, 2016, military prosecutors instructed the expansion of in rem prosecution for crimes against humanity.
Investigations also target nationwide actions after December 22, 1989, as per the orders in the resolution to reopen criminal investigation in the case.
