On the trial of Dr Silviu Ionescu, the MFA Spokesman said:
"The Ministry has been informed that the appeal by the Romanian Prosecution Office against the Romanian Court's decision to allow Dr Silviu Ionescu to travel out of Bucharest has been rejected. However, Dr Ionescu is not allowed to leave Romania, is not permitted to change his residence without the prior approval of the court and, among other things, cannot drive any vehicle. He is also prohibited from approaching and communicating with the injured person, members of his family, witnesses or experts.
We trust that the Romanian authorities will continue to take all the necessary measures to ensure that Dr Ionescu complies strictly with the supplementary obligations imposed by the Court.
The next hearing is scheduled for 9 March 2011. We will continue to monitor the proceedings closely . We also continue to expect the Romanian authorities to honour assurances given to the Singapore Government that justice will be done."
