Alina Bica – sentenced in the second file to 3 years and 6 months imprisonment
Alina Bica, former head of the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) was sentenced on Thursday to 3 years and 6 months imprisonment for the offense of favouring the offender in connection with interventions for classifying a file in which businessman Horia Simu was involved.
The decision is not final and can be appealed.
This is the second sentence for Alina Bica. In November 2016 she was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment for the offense of encouraging the perpetrator in a file involving former minister Adriean Videanu. The decision in this case is not final.
The decision of the three judges of the High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ – Supreme Court) can be appealed to the ICCJ panel of five judges.
Bica was sentenced for the offense of favouring the perpetrator, being acquitted for the offense of abuse of office, the same source informs.
Adriean Videanu, Dorin Cocos, Alin Cocos, Alina Bica and her former adviser Florentin Mihailescu were arrested on January 31, 2015 following the ICCJ decision. The decision was made in Alina Bica’s disjoint case of unlawful compensation from ANRP (Agency for Property Restitution).
