BUCHAREST (Reuters) - A senior member of Romania's ruling Social Democrats resigned from parliament on Tuesday, the speaker of the assembly said, a day after prosecutors said they were investigating him for alleged corruption.
Viorel Hrebenciuc, the 61-year-old vice-president of parliament's lower house, is suspected along with another lawmaker, Dan Sova, of collaborating to produce a bill on pardons in criminal cases that could have benefited him.
