Cosmin Nicula, head of the Senate’ budget-finance committee, said he will submit Rusanu’s resignation to the Senate’s Standing Office.
The Bucharest Court of Appeals definitively ruled Tuesday to place Rusanu under preventive arrest for 30 days.
Rusanu was detained by prosecutors on February 25 on charges of abuse of office into influencing testimonies in the case involving insurance company Carpatica. Rusanu is accused of having favored Carpatica.
