hit and run

Romania’s former envoy to Singapore Silviu Ionescu has been indicted by Romania’s General Production Office for manslaughter and he is also accused of using his diplomatic immunity to leave Singapore and attempted to influence the investigation into a hit-and-run accident.

Lifting diplomatic immunity for former Romanian envoy to Singapore Silviu Ionescu is unlikely, because Romania and Singapore don’t have an extradition treaty, The Straits Times reported Thursday, citing Romania’s Tokyo-based Ambassador to Singapore Aurelian Neagu.

A A Singapore Coroner's Court has concluded that it was reckless driving by Romania’s former envoy Silviu Ionescu that caused a fatal hit-and-run accident mid December last year, The Straits Times reported in its online edition Wednesday.
