Romanians Vote for Mayors in Ballot Overshadowed by Graft


In Bucharest, the former city mayor and five out of six district mayors elected in 2012 have been convicted or are being investigated on graft charges. According to Romania's anti-corruption prosecutors' office, more than 100 mayors, deputy mayors, county council presidents and vice presidents were indicted for corruption in 2015. "There are five out of six who are suspected of corruption in Bucharest, who should I vote for? Bucharest, a city of more than 2 million, had the largest local budget this year of 4.1 billion Romanian lei ($1.01 billion). However, people who have been indicted of corruption but haven't been convicted are not excluded from running for office.
