Romanian MP and former minister of regional development and tourism Elena Udrea was arrested on Wednesday for 30 days under charges of bribery and abuse of office in the Gala Bute case, following a decision of the Supreme Court, according to Mediafax. She will be detained by the Bucharest Police until March 26.
However, the Court rejected the National Anticorruption Directorate’s (DNA) request to arrest her under charges of attempted crime of using false, inaccurate or incomplete documents or statements, in order to obtain funds from the EU budget, and of using influence to obtain undue benefits.
The preventive arrest decision is not final and may be contested at the Supreme Court.
Udrea has been previously arrested for another 30 days in the Microsoft case but the judges later decided to place her under home arrest.
