The decision of the High Court of Justice is definitive and supports a decision ruled previously by the Bucharest Court.

Patriciu's lawyers started legal proceeding against the SRI in mid-February 2007, when they filed a complaint with the Bucharest Court, accusing the institution of having broken the businessman's right to privacy.

On May 11, 2007, the Court decided that the accusation was grounded and obligated the SRI to pay moral damage of RON50,000.

The ruling was challenged with the Bucharest Court of Appeals, which maintained the decision of the lower court, and afterward with the High Court of Justice.
