Romania’s High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ) has restarted debates in the preliminary chamber for the case involving former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu and mercenary Horațiu Potra. The retrial includes 20 other defendants accused of actions against the constitutional order. This restart follows a complete change of the judging panel due to a judge’s recusal. The case had been previously underway but was effectively reset with the new panel. Details regarding the specific charges and evidence are still emerging as the preliminary debates resume. News.ro first reported the development, highlighting the significant procedural shift in the high-profile case. The ICCJ’s decision indicates a fresh evaluation of the case’s merits.
