The Senate allowed the arrest of Senator Doina Tudor, in a 61-to-57 secret vote with two votes cancelled on Wednesday.
Liberal Senator Tudor is prosecuted by the National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA) as an accessory in a bribery case against her husband Daniel George Tudor, a former president of the Insurance Supervisory Committee, who has been already placed under house arrest by the High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ Romania's Supreme court).
The Senate vote allows the DNA to detain the senator for 24 hours and request the ICCJ to arrest her for a maximum of 30 days, pending trial.
Parliament members can be detained only with the approval of the respective chamber - Senate or Chamber of Deputies - by a plenary vote. AGERPRES
