Bucharest Court Adds Six Months To Gigi Becali’s Concurrent Sentence
The Bucharest Court decided Thursday Gigi Becali, owner of football club Steaua, will serve three and a half years in prison for multiple crimes.
The decision is not final and may be appealed with a higher court.
Becali had been sentenced to three years in prison for attempting to bribe the players of a team whose win would have secured Steaua’s championship title in 2008. He was also sentenced to three years in prison for fraud in a land swap deal.
Bacali asked the court to merge the two sentences, while anticorruption prosecutors called for adding another year to the concurrent sentence. (Curentul)
