The Supreme Court (Inalta Curte de Casatie si Justitie) accepted a referral from the Tribunal of Caras-Severin and ruled that the disqualification provisions of Article 15(2)(e) of Law No. 393/2004 are applicable to local elected officials. The dispute concerned the legal qualification of local representatives convicted by final court judgments to imprisonment with conditional suspension of execution, specifically when the penalty is enforced under Article 81-82 or under conditions other than those specified in Article 57(1) of the Criminal Code. The Court established that such convictions trigger the automatic loss of the elected position under the Statute of Local Elected Officials, thereby defining the scope of ineligibility for local authorities serving conditional prison sentences.
