Romanian Court Orders Arrest of Ex-finance Minister, Mayor on Bribery Charges

Description

A Romanian court has ordered the arrest of the previous finance minister and an influential mayor who face separate bribery charges. The court ruled Thursday that Darius Valcov can be arrested on charges that he took 2 million euros ($2.1 million) in bribes when he was a mayor. Valcov resigned on March 15 and was under house arrest. The court also ordered the arrest of Constanta Mayor Radu Mazare. Prosecutors say Mazare received 9 million euros ($9.8 million) in bribes in exchange for handing out permits and for letting a businessman win contracts to refurbish the city.
