The action of the parquet in the case of Georgescu, investigated

I asked the Judicial Inspection to investigate how the Prosecutor's Office « jumps » the people on the street, as in the 1950s, announces APADOR-CH, in a statement issued by daily.ro. In the document, the representatives of the Association for the Defense of Human Rights say that the country's force bodies have carried out an action « as in films » by raising a citizen and his management to hearings, given that he could be quoted and called to the police.

Criminal Procedure Code says that Mandate of bringing is issued only if the person has been quoted in advance and has not been presented. By exception to this rule, the suspect or the defendant may be brought with a warrant of bringing, even before being called by summons, only if this measure is required in the interest of resolving the cause.

From the public data, however, it does not result why a former candidate for the presidency, with his known domicile, who did not show his refusal to come to hearings, being also in crutches, would have intended to evade or flee from the country, at the time of receiving a summons. Moreover, the lifting from its street, the day before the date on which the candidates for the new presidential election can be submitted, was widely reflected by the press. The lifted person on the street was thus presented publicly in the position of a fugitive offender, detained by the police following spectacular efforts.

Therefore, we asked today to the Judicial Inspection – which certainly has access to the reasons in the file, which were the basis of this decision of the case prosecutor – to verify whether this prosecutor has committed or not disciplinary deviation consisting of exercising the function with bad faithdeviation provided by art. 271 letter. s) of Law 303/2022.

We mention that we do not support in any way the ideas, program or manifestations of the respective citizen, former candidate for the presidency, but we consider that the operation, already grounded for several years, of televised justice, with the parade of the handcuffs and the hearings with the « gallery » waiting in front of the Prosecutor's Office, is unacceptable for a rule.

This « procedure-spectacle », which is not provided in any law, has been used in the past, to other public persons, and continues to be used as an instrument of intimidation and transmission of a message of strength and impunity.

The reasonable explanation of this « show » would be that, by issuing the mandate, before issuing a summons, a media exposure was desired to the detriment of the suspect/defendant, it will be presented as a fugitive offender, with the « police on foots », caught with great efforts by the police, who had to follow him, where they had to follow him.

In reality, however, for the older ones, this show only brought back the 1950s with their abuses, in which you could be saved from the street by a black volg, because you thought or spoke differently.
