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 doneo je prvostepenu presudu 5. decembra, zaključivši da, mada je optuženi Dan Trankota -- regionalni zvaničnik Socijaldemokratske partije (PSD) iz perioda 2000-2004 -- dostavljao informacije Sekuritatei, on nije prekršio ljudska prava, s obzirom da su jedva postojala tokom komunizma.
