​Former Romania international player Denuc Lupu has asked the 5th District Court to be released on parole from a prison where he is serving a 7-month sentence after he was caught multiple times driving without a license.

Denuts Lupu asks for parole – He received an offer from Dynamo

Lupu served five months of the seven he was sentenced to in October 2023.

“I have done my part, I regret the act and I want to return home with my family” – Danut Lupain the courtroom, ProSport cites.

Denutza Lupu’s lawyer stated that the former footballer was offered the position of sports director at Dynamo, without specifying whether it was Dynamo (the club he worked for before his conviction) or Dynamo FC (the Super League team).

“My client is reintegrating into society. Now he has an offer from “Dynamo” to take on the position of sports director. In addition, he must operate on the disease he is suffering from.

During the execution of the sentence, he demonstrated exemplary behavior both to the staff of the unit and to other persons deprived of their liberty. He persevered in his work as much as the Rakhov Prison Commission allowed him, and earned 12 days that are considered time served.

Given that he was representing Romania and this is a matter of public interest, we believe that this is a notable performance and this detail should also be taken into account.” Ingrid Miklaus, attorney for Denutz Lupureports ProSport.

“I was going to the hospital”

According to Ghandul, Lupu (57 years old) lost his driver’s license in 2001 after getting behind the wheel drunk.

The former footballer would try to get his driving license again several times, but failed the theory test each time.

He was caught several times driving without a license. In June 2022, he was stopped by the traffic police team, which filed criminal proceedings against him, and then took him to court.

In February 2023, the Cornet Court sentenced him to 7 months and 10 days in prison by firing squad, given that he had a previous 6-month suspended sentence, obtained in July 2020 at the Galati Court of Appeal, also for driving without a license.

Lupu, who has been caught driving without a license several times, explained that he was rushing to the hospital.

• “I don’t know if I will be able to get a suspended sentence, I can’t tell you that myself. That’s why they’re lawyers, right? Yes, first of all I regret what happened. I had to. I was just going to the hospital. I was sorry, and the witnesses said the same. Now you know how it is in life, even if you make certain mistakes, I say if you make them in the interest of health… After all, it’s my mistake.

• I would not change anything, because I believe that the health of each person is more important than anything else. You understand I came after H1N1, after COVID, I also had heart problems. We are moving forward, there is nothing for us to do,” he complains Danut Lupa for Ghandul, after he was convicted in the first instance and appealed the decision.
