    I think freezing assets is a common practice when said assets may be put towards restitution for the victims if found guilty.

    I have no idea how Romainia does it, or if they can be trusted to actually put the money towards the victims. But on paper, it seems like it could be for good reasons.

    Or it could be for civil forfeiture kind of abuse of authority. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

      That’s what I was thinking, but I’m not an expert on the Romanian legal system either.
