The Romanian High Court of Cassation and Justice on Tuesday pronounced the final verdict, namely 3 years in prison, for the Romanian businessman George Becali, accused of bribe giving in the national football championship. George Becali is currently serving a 3-year sentence after being found guilty as accessory to abuse of office in a real estate deal with the state. The two sentences will mostly likely not be cumulated but the bribe-giving accusation could create problems to the football team Steaua Bucharest, Romania’s champion, whose financier is George Becali.
NATO defence ministers discussed Tuesday in Brussels the NATO mission in Afghanistan, ahead of the pullout of the Alliance troops from that country.

Romania is represented by defence minister Mircea Dusa.
The Romanian Foreign Ministry reiterated, Tuesday, its recommendation to the Romanian citizens who travel to Istanbul to avoid the central area of the city as protests continue in several big cities across Turkey.

According to the Turkish press more than 1700 people have been wounded and 2 have been killed in the past 2 days during the anti-government protests.
