Dan Voiculescu, the founder of Romania’s Intact Media Group, has been conditionally released from prison, having served three years of a 10-year sentence for corruption.
Quoted by Business Review, he said: “three years of my life have been stolen”, adding that there was “no prejudice in his case” and the “decision will be dismantled by Romanian justice”.
Voiculescu, along with several other defendants, was sentenced in 2014 in a case involving the unlawful privatisation of the Food Research Institute (ICA).
As previously reported by Broadband TV News, he was also sentenced to two years in 2016 in a case involving the blackmail of an official at RCS&RDS.
However, this sentence was appealed and a court ruling around three weeks ago acquitted Voiculescu in his case.
Intact Media Group is one of the leading broadcasters in Romania.
