In March 2017, the first court acquitted him of the money-laundering charge, but found him guilty of using his influence and carrying out financial operations as trading acts incompatible with the office, for the purpose of obtaining money, goods or undue benefits.
Gheorghe Stefan was also convicted in the Microsoft file to 3 years and 6 months in jail; in the ‘Money for the party’ file to 3 years in prison, the sentence being merged with the one in the Microsoft file.
The former mayor executed 297 of the 1,278 prison days, being released on parole in September 2017.
