Justice Minister Tudorel Toader stated on Tuesday evening that Sebastian Ghita was identified and detained by authorities in Serbia based on the warrants issued in Romania.
"Sebastian Ghita was identified and detained based on the arrest warrants issued in Romania. If they detained him, you realize that the detention cannot be done without an indictment, an analysis, without a case, which means that the moment he was detained, subsequently arrested for 18 days, there was a judicial basis, a judicial and factual ground for enforcing these serious measures," Tudorel Toader told Antena 3 private television station.
He added that on Wednesday the Justice Ministry might receive the final decisions regarding the legality of the arrest warrants issued on the name of Sebastian Ghita.
"At 17:30 hrs we didn't have a final verification closure in respect to the legality of the two warrants which the extradition request is based on. Probably tomorrow we will receive them and from that point on the mission goes to the Justice Ministry to request the extradition. But one doesn't request the extradition as a first thing after the closure is received because the Justice Ministry, in its turn, through its specialized directorate must conduct a verification of the international regularity, the collaboration requirement, the requirement of the international convention. [...] After the verification, this international regularization, the compliance with international acts, immediately, right away, we set in motion the extradition request, but [...] at the Justice Ministry we don't receive [...] the closure of the first court, but the final closure," Justice Minister stated.
