The Bucharest tribunal issued that initial verdict on December 5th, ruling that although defendant Dan Trancota -- a Social Democratic Party (PSD) regional official from 2000 to 2004 -- informed for the Securitate, he did not infringe on any human rights, since they hardly existed during communism.
Tribunal u Bukureštu donio je prvostupanjsku presudu 5. prosinca, zaključivši kako, iako je optuženik Dan Trancota -- regionalni dužnosnik Socijaldemokratske stranke (PSD) iz razdoblja 2000-2004 -- bio doušnik Securitateu, nije prekršio ljudska prava, budući da su jedva postojala tijekom komunizma.
