generals

Romania’s Supreme Court on Wednesday sentenced two former high-ranking generals to 15 years in jail each for their role in killing demonstrators during the 1989 anti-communist revolution.

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.
