Nine Romanian police officers have been accused of torture or complicity in torture in their treatment of two people after they arrested them for failing to wear facemasks.
The claims refer to an incident on September 1 in Bucharest when officers allegedly punished two people they had arrested by beating one and abandoning both on the outskirts of the capital city.
Romanian prosecutors connected to the Bucharest Tribunal launched criminal proceedings into the matter on Wednesday.
The nine officers - from Section 16 of the Bucharest police - are accused of crimes of deprivation of liberty and torture.
Eight of the suspects were detained by authorities, while the ninth was also held under judicial control .

Interior Minister Lucian Bode said on Thursday that trained dogs will be used at Sibiu Airport to detect people infected with SARS-CoV-2, according to AGERPRES. It has been a great interest in what our colleagues from the Sibiu Canine Centre are doing. (.) The next step after completing this stage is, as your colleagues from Sibiu have told you, an agreement with the Airport in Sibiu that comprises clear regulations involving the Directorate of Public Health, so that this pilot centre or pilot project starts in Sibiu under a partnership with the airport, after which we will see how it evolves. We have seen how this project evolves in other countries - Finland, Germany - I am convinced that this element of novelty and the work of these fellow police officers will yield results, Bode said at Parliament.
