The criminal section of the High Court of Justice had acquitted Pacuraru and Morega of corruption charges in March this year, but the prosecution appealed the ruling.
Paul Pacuraru, who was labor minister between April 3, 2007 and September 23, 2008, and Morega, member of the General Assembly of Shareholders in thermal power producers Rovinari and Turceni, were indicted on corruption charges in December 2008.
Prosecutors said Morega had promised Pacuraru to help his son win public training contracts from state-owned Oltenia National Coal Company (SNLO) and thermal power producers Turceni and Rovinari.
