Sorin Oprescu, a former mayor of Bucharest, was placed under judicial control in Greece. He is facing potential extradition to Romania, where he may still have a prison sentence to serve. Oprescu has expressed a desire to remain in Greece and not be extradited. After being arrested at the airport in Thessaloniki, he made his first statements while in custody, stating that he was only there to meet a friend. The Greek prosecutor has refused his extradition, and Oprescu's lawyer has invoked decisions of the Constitutional Court of Romania in an attempt to reduce his sentence. The Romanian Ministry of Justice has stated that the system is prepared for Oprescu's return and that the previous impediment to his extradition has been removed. Oprescu's fate will be decided in a hearing in Greece, with potential implications for his ongoing legal case in Romania.
