Tinu’s son, Andrei Iucinu, said he was not officially announced when the disinterment would be performed and he came based on unofficial information. He was also not allowed access in the perimeter of his father’s grave.
Iucinu added he hopes the procedure would reveal new evidence that would help clear the circumstances of his father’s death.
"We’ve come here to dig for the truth," Iucinu said.
He added forensics would now have a clearer image of the physical trauma his father suffered.
Tinu died on January 1, 2003, allegedly in a car crash, but investigators have not yet ruled out the possibility of foul play.
