Senator Sova asks his indictment to end political squabbling

Social Democrat Senator Dan Sova said on Tuesday evening that he wanted the case in which he was investigated to be sent to court, to clear his situation once and for all, after the Senate rejected the request of the Minister of Justice to have him taken into custody and put under pre-trial arrest.

"I don't want to qualify the vote in the Senate. I'll say just one phrase and I hope you understand me: as I already asked the Supreme Court, I want my case to be referred to court to have things cleared up, and to put an end to all this political squabbling," Sova said after the 72-to-66 vote of the Senators against his arrest.

The Senate repeated its vote in this case on Tuesday, following a ruling of the Constitutional Court of Romania that found unconstitutional a previous vote cast on March 25. AGERPRES
