sanctions

Romanian drivers involved in fender benders no longer face fines or license suspensions, provided they choose to settle the incident amiably, road police said.

Romanians living in poorly insulated buildings who refuse to be part of the national thermal rehabilitation program won’t be sanctioned, Romanian minster of regional development and housing Vasile Blaga said Wednesday.

Romania’s freshly sacked Chief of Police Gheorghe Popa said Friday he was forced to sign the procurement contract to buy police cars, over which he lost his job, or he would have faced severe financial sanctions.

Foreign ministry’s preliminary report on the case of Romanian national Claudiu Crulic who died in a Polish hospital following an ignored hunger strike is insufficient, Premier Calin Popescu Tariceanu said Thursday.

Citizens who fail to pay their fines might be forced into community service and might be denied possession of certain documents until they pay all their dues.
