Bucharest Court Allows Medical Expertise For 2nd Ex-General Sentenced To Jail

The Bucharest Military Court allowed Thursday the request made by former general Mihai Chitac for a medical expertise at the National Forensic Medicine Institute, to establish whether Chitac is medically able to carry out his 15-year sentence in prison.

Chitac’s lawyer, Dan Ioan presented the court with several medical documents that indicate the former general suffers from a heart condition.

The medical examination has a “strict goal”, to establish whether Chitac suffers from a serious illness that will make impossible for him to serve his sentence in prison, according to the prosecutor in charge.

On Tuesday, the Court allowed the request for a medical expertise submitted by the other defendant in the case, former general Victor Athanasie Stanculescu.

Last week, Romania’s Supreme Court sentenced Chitac and Stanculescu to 15 years in jail each for their role in killing demonstrators during the 1989 anti-communist revolution.
