Romanian businessman Dinu Patriciu sued Thursday incumbent President Traian Basescu, asking the Bucharest District 1 Court to impose the payment of EUR1 in damages to Basescu, in a trial set to start on May 4, 2010.

Romanian president Traian Basescu said Wednesday that according to the analysis performed by the National Institute of Forensics the recording made four years ago, where he allegedly strikes a child, is not authentic, nor an accurate copy of an authentic recording.

Romanian President Traian Basescu asked the National Criminal Expertise Institute for a professional opinion on whether the video of him allegedly hitting a child has been altered.
