The Supreme Court of Romania ruled in favor of the four year sentence in
prison of the former Prime Minister, Adrian Nastese, who was found
guilty over corruption charges.
Nastase was found guilty also for blackmail, and was sentenced to three other years in prison that were merged within the first sentence.

Adrian Nastase survived a murder attempt in 2012, when he was sentenced to two years in prison in a parallel process. From the former sentence over bribe charges, the former Prime Minister served only 10 months and was released on probation for the remaining time.
