The court’s ruling is final and irrevocable. The Supreme Court upheld anticorruption prosecutors’ appeal and canceled a previous sentence that cleared Carabulea of all charges and also ruled to raise the former prosecutor’s sentence to five years instead of three.

Carabulea owns transport company Atlassib and is the main shareholder in lender Banca Comerciala Carpatica (BCC.RO). He also has interests in hotels and constructions.
