A Romanian prosecutor, Teodor Niță, will remain in pre-trial detention after the High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ) rejected his appeal for a lighter restriction. Niță, from the Constanța Court of Appeal Prosecutor's Office, had requested to replace his preventative arrest with judicial control. The ICCJ deemed the appeal unfounded, upholding the original detention order. News.ro reports that Niță has 48 hours to contest the court’s decision. The reasons behind Niță’s initial arrest and the charges he faces have not been detailed in this report. This decision maintains the current legal restrictions placed upon the prosecutor as the case proceeds.
