The law in Romania is certainly not known for its perfection, but what legal system doesn't flex when the US (or a regional equivalent great power) leans on it? This is not a reasonable benchmark.

What ?!?

+ e.g. in Serbia EU's leadership (Ursula and the gang) applauds the local BDFL publicly, and on the same day EU report comes out condemning state of political freedoms and rule of law in Serbia.

And they do this the whole day. Meanwhile in the Ukraine the fire openly burns.

Their flight to the US comes after the Financial Times reported that Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell, had spoken to the Romanian foreign minister, Emil Hurezeanu, about the Tate brothers at this month’s Munich Security Conference.

Is not the first time people flee abroad while prosecuted in Romania. There are quite a few high profile cases, usually for corruption. My point is that anything is possible in Romanian justice, either through bribes or influence.
