The police made searches in the suspended mayor’s cell and found several doses of insulin. There are suspicions that he would have taken more insulin than needed, Digi24 reports. A medical investigation is to find out if this is confirmed.
Bucharest Police say the medication for the arrested people should be kept by the infirmary.
Police sources quoted by Digi 24 say Sorin Oprescu could be sanctioned. Specifically he might not to be entitled to visits from family or friends, but only by the lawyers.
The Police say: “On October 15, 2015, at 19.40h, following the suspicion that in a detention room of the Preventive Arrest Centre illegal drugs are held, the cell was raided, and two doses of insulin were found that have been taken out and legal action will be taken against the person involved.”
Bucharest Mayor Sorin Oprescu received EUR 25,000 to keep a civil servant in office and not as a loan, as he “totally inconclusively” claimed in front of the judge, reads the court’s arrest motivation.
The court shows the evidence points that during 2013-2015 a well organized group set up a system through which the businessmen who wanted contracts with the municipality had to give part of the gross revenue earned from the contract as a bribe to the decision making factors supervised by Mayor Sorin Oprescu.
The criminal activity initiated near the indicter, who used to hold positions at Brancovenesti Palaces Cultural Center in Mogosoaia and at the Cemeteries Administration, would have developed on two levels.
On the first level there was the activity of the indicter, charged with granting public contracts to some private contractors, claiming and taking important sums of money as brib, while this activity enabled the bribe taking crime committed by Mayor Oprescu, reads the motivation.
According to the judge, there is a reasonable suspicion that, based on a previous agreement with other two persons, Oprescu received EUR 25,000 from one of these persons, out of a total of EUR 60,000 claimed from a private company that was conducting construction works at Mogosoaia Palace.
