The former mayor of Baia Mare Cătălin Cherecheş, who a week ago was extradited from Germany to serve in Romania a five-year prison sentence for taking bribes, sued the state at the ECHR.
Tuesday morning, Cătălin Cherecheș, incarcerated at the Rahova Penitentiary, gave a statement via video conference before the magistrates of the supreme court.
Madam President, I am definitely convicted and there is no rush to resolve the case, and I ask you with all due respect to benefit from a trial in another court that is compatible. I have every confidence that you will give me the chance, said Cherecheș.
It is the first time he speaks before Romanian judges after being extradited from Germany.
