Prosecutor Radu George Bucurică legal investigation

Overview

Prosecutor Radu George Bucurică of the Caraș-Severin Tribunal Prosecutor's Office has been suspended by the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) pending disciplinary proceedings.

This follows a High Court of Cassation and Justice ruling ordering a 30-day preventive arrest for Bucurică. He is under investigation for offenses including violation of weapons and ammunition regulations, disturbing public order and peace, and two counts of contempt of authority. The investigation relates to an early August incident in Ribița, Hunedoara County, where Bucurică allegedly possessed a lethal pistol, a knife, and tear gas despite having his weapon permit revoked in July. He reportedly refused to identify himself to police and fled the scene.
