The prosecutors with the Prosecutor General’s Office have closed the file in which former President Traian Basescu was targeted in connection with the illegal restitution of some buildings when he was mayor of Bucharest.
The Press Office of the Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed that the prosecutors have already informed Traian Basescu that this file has been closed.
The media reported that during the term when he was mayor general of Bucharest, Traian Basescu returned 66 houses to one person. Subsequently, the tenants of those buildings complained that the beneficiary of the restitution was not the heir by law.
The prosecutors opened a file on this case, Traian Basescu being heard on May 8. While leaving the Prosecutor’s Office, Traian Basescu denied he knew the beneficiary of the restitutions and said that the transaction was done by the law.
