Dima is to be released Saturday around 2 p.m., when the order detaining him for 24 hours expires.

The prosecution’s contestation of this ruling will be heard by the Court of Bucharest.

Dima was detained on Friday for 24 hours in a criminal file investigating the accident that took place in the hospital’s intensive care unit last week. He was in charge of the maternity hospital’s electric system and was tasked with instructing employees on work safety regulations.

Medical assistant Florentina Cirstea was also placed under 29-day preventive arrest on Tuesday on charges of negligent homicide and grave corporal injury by negligence, in connection with the fire at the Giulesti maternity hospital. She filed a contestation against the preventive arrest ruling, which will be judged Monday by the Bucharest Court.

Five newborn babies died and six were severely injured in an explosion which took place last week in the intensive care unit of the Giulesti maternity hospital. The six injured babies were admitted to the Grigore Alexandrescu children hospital and one of them is in critical condition.
