| THE EARTHQUAKE ROCKING ROMANIAN MAGISTRATES 6/02/2009 |

Opened last month because of the armed robbery and double murder at an exchange office in Brasov (central Romania), the so-called Gorbunov case soon turned into a tremor that has rocked the Romanian Police and Judiciary. At the time of the assault, the main suspect, a shady character named Serghei Gorbunov, from the neighboring Republic of Moldova, was not supposed to be in Brasov, but in a penitentiary in Craiova (Southern Romania) serving a 15-year sentence for crimes similar to the one in which he is now one of the main suspects.
Released last year for three months under the pretext he had to be treated from glaucoma – an illness all specialists describe as being a minor one – the Gorbunov quite predictably forgot to return to jail. He settled in Brasov (in central Romania), where he whiled his time away pumping iron in a gym, and rubbing shoulders with the policemen who ought to have been after him, given that an escape warrant had been issued on Gorbunov’s name. The incredible chain of aiding and abetting, of negligence and incompetence has recently been broken once Gorbunov was arrested right after the double murder at the exchange office; it perplexed the media and the pubic opinion at the same time prompting the authorities to take firm action in such a case. The first ones to be removed from office were the heads of the Penitentiary in Craiova and the Police Office in Brasov.
On Thursday, the Higher Council of Magistrates dismissed three of the prosecutors and two of the judges whose generosity allowed the gunman to roam free across Romania. The Justice Minister himself, Catalin Predoiu, voted in favor of the aforementioned people’s dismissal. The Council has also ordered the start of investigations at all courts of law across the country regarding the suspension or procrastination of sentences. The magnitude of such a tremor could grow, as most newspapers keep revealing the ludicrous reasons behind such releases, which range from the payment of bank debts to claustrophobia and testicle atrophy.
