The Bucharest Court found that the Craiova Court of Appeals had earlier ruled that Dinel Staicu was innocent of the charges for which he was tried and sentenced in the BIR case. Therefore, the Bucharest Court applied the res judicata doctrine and the earlier ruling stands.

On April 4, 2011, Dinel Staicu was sentenced to seven years in prison for accessory to abuse of office for his role in the bankruptcy of the International Bank of Religions (BIR). According to police, he had left the country the previous day. Earlier, Staicu had legally taken his wife’s last name, Nutu.

He was apprehended on April 19 in Hungary, on the basis of a European Arrest Warrant issued by a Bucharest court.
