BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Thousands of Romanians protested on Thursday against the Senate’s decision to shut down a potential manslaughter investigation into a former deputy prime minister over the death of a police motorcycle outrider.
Gabriel Oprea, a member of the Senate, was travelling in a motorcade to which he was not entitled in late 2015 when Bogdan Gigina, one of his police escorts, crashed when his bike hit a pothole in rainy conditions.
