The Supreme Court of Cassation and Justice took into account the request of Traian Basescu, by which the former president informs the judges that he refuses to appeal through an extraordinary appeal the decision of the court by which he was declared an employee of the former communist security.

“Take note of the request made by the reviewer Besescu Trajan regarding the rejection of the decision on the request for revision issued against the decision No. 1736 of March 23, 2022 of the High Court of Cassation and Justice – Section of Administrative and Tax Disputes, issued in case No. 3160/2 /2019 “, according to the decision of the Supreme Court, reports Agerpres. The decision is final.

In October, Traian Basescu submitted an identical request to the Court of Appeal in Bucharest.

With the help of two petitions for review, Traian Basescu tried to get the decision that he was recognized as a member of the communist security to be overturned.

Revision is an extraordinary form of appeal by which “on the basis of facts, circumstances, or evidence discovered after the judgment, a final or irrevocable judgment of a civil court is sought to be set aside and a new judgment entered.”

The final decision of the court and the conspiratorial notes of “Petrov”

On March 23, the Supreme Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ) finally ruled that former president Traian Basescu cooperated with Bezpeka as a political police, testifying under the conspiratorial alias “Petrov.”

According to CNSAS, former President Traian Basescu gave information notes that would have led to the detention of a Navy colleague in the country. Documents submitted to the CNSAS court show that Basescu had a liaison officer appointed by the former security service, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and that he provided two holographic information notes.

According to CNSAS, during cooperation with Security, Traian Basescu provided information exposing activities against the totalitarian communist regime, such as the intention to go abroad and relations with foreign citizens, which was contained in the information notes provided on 05.05.1975.

“Analyzing the information provided by the defendant, we understand that it is aimed at limiting the right to private life (Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) and the right to free movement (Article 12 of the International Covenant). on Civil and Political Rights), CNSAS said.

According to the Council, as a result of one of the informative notes provided by Traian Besescu to his colleague, the Security Service approved his appointment on Romanian ships that leave the country’s borders.

How Trajan Besescu defended himself

During his trial at the Bucharest Court of Appeal, Traian Basescu denied being a former security officer. “We have completely different points of view, CNSAS and I. The third, the judge, will reconcile us,” Besescu said then.

Traian Basescu told the courtroom that he had not signed any bond with the former bodyguards and that he did not know he would be given a conspiratorial name, stressing that his reports were signed “Captain Traian Basescu”.

• “I did not know that I was given a conspiratorial name.
• I did not sign the bond in which the conspiratorial name was entered. (…) I did not know that Military Counterintelligence is Security. I thought it was a service of the Ministry of National Defense.
• I never knew I was given a conspiracy name. Only when I was given two notes, Colonel Tudor told me: “Sign Petrov.” I have never been called a conspiratorial name.
• I didn’t know that military counterintelligence was Security.
• I learned about military counterintelligence connections only after the revolution. I thought it was a service under the Naval Command as it says on the frontispiece. My reports were submitted to the company, not the security service, and signed “Captain Traian Basescu”.
• If I was a collaborator, they should also have been signed by Petrov,” Besescu said before the court.

He claimed that the students of the civilian faculty of the Maritime Institute are not prohibited from contacting foreign citizens, having relations with them outside of the professional framework. He recalled that in the summer, when they were students, they went to Mamai, where they met young people from Czechoslovakia.

They left the villa without protocol and without security, after the decision to cooperate with the Security

• b) a monthly allowance equal to 75% of the allowance granted to the President of Romania in office;
• c) security and protection, as well as free use of a car, which is constantly provided by the Security and Protection Service.

According to the changes introduced in 2021 to the law granting certain rights to persons who were the Romanian head of state, the final decision to cooperate with the former security entails the loss of all these rights granted to others. their lives

Thus, after the court decision, Besescu received an eviction order from the villa located on Gogol street No. 1. 2 of sector 1, where he lived. He was also left unguarded.
