Former mayor Sorin Oprescu, convicted of corruption, is contesting the sentence citing a decision of the Constitutional Court that modified the interpretation of abuse of office. His lawyers argue that the act for which he was convicted has been decriminalized, as it violated an internal regulation, not a law. Although the Bucharest Tribunal rejected his appeal, Oprescu has filed a challenge. Arrested in Greece after fleeing the country, he was sentenced in 2022 to 10 years and 8 months in prison.
