chief of staff

The Bucharest Appeal Court decided on Thursday to suspend the effects of a decree issued by President Klaus Iohannis last year, which extended the term of Romanian Army Chief of Staff Nicolae Ciuca for another year.

The trial in which Romanian retired generals Eugen Badalan and Mihai Popescu, among others, are charged with causing over EUR1.2 million in losses to the Army Ground Forces General Staff was suspended when the Supreme Court approved the exception of unconstitutionality raised by the defendants.
