The Ombudsman asked the head of Bucharest administration, the regional representative of the central government, to appeal in court the decision of the City Council regarding the towing of illegally parked cars on the city’s streets, Adevarul reported.

The Ombudsman argues that the lifting of these cars cannot be ordered by the Local Police (subordinated to the municipality), but only by the state Police.
