A Romanian court has ruled that the son of a former Moldovan president be banned from leaving Bucharest during an investigation into whether he took bribes.
The court ruled Wednesday that Sergiu Lucinschi, a businessman who also has Romanian citizenship, shouldn't leave the capital for two months. He was detained Tuesday.
Prosecutors said Lucinschi, a police officer in an anti-crime department, and a lawyer who is the son-in-law of former Romanian President Traian Basescu, are suspected of demanding 2 million euros ($2.1 million) from a businessman from December to March in exchange for promising to stop an investigation into the businessman. The police officer was arrested Wednesday.
