Mircea Basescu arrives at the National Anticorruption Directorate for hearings in Bucharest
Mircea Basescu, brother of Romania's President Traian Basescu, arrives at the National Anticorruption Directorate for hearings in Bucharest June 19, 2014. A Romanian court issued a 30-day arrest warrant for President Traian Basescu's brother on Friday pending a criminal probe for allegedly taking a bribe to help keep an underworld boss out of jail, his lawyer told reporters declining other comment. Anti-corruption prosecutors had asked for the warrant against Mircea Basescu in a corruption case that has prompted leftist Prime Minister Victor Ponta to call for the president's resignation, four months before a November 2 presidential election.
