Romanian MP and regional party leader caught taking bribe
He was arrested for one night over the week-end but was later released during his investigation. He is being investigated for trading influence, instigating forgery and money laundering. Romania's Chamber of Deputies will now have 20 days to decide whether or not to lift Trăşculescu's immunity so he can face criminal proceedings.
Alin Trăşculescu is the president of PDL Vrancea and is running for office as an MP in the upcoming elections.
