Former Prime Minister Adrian Năstase gave up the appeal to challenge the sentence of two years' imprisonment in the "Trophy Quality" case, according to Radio Romania editor Diana Surdu.

Former prime minister motivated his intention by the fact that the application is no longer justified.

Basically, the former Prime Minister’s application was made when he was hospitalized in Floreasca, and meanwhile he was imprisoned and began his sentence at Jilava prison hospital.

After the hearing, Adrian Năstase’s lawyer said he will not submit a new application for termination of the sentence.

Adrian Năstase, sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the "trophy quality" case, was brought Wednesday morning at the Court of Appeal that judged the appeal of former Prime Minister’s lawyers regarding the execution appeal to sentence.

On June 26, Bucharest Court found that there is no impediment to implementing the mandate of execution of sentence of two years in prison for former Prime Minister.

Following this decision, Adrian Năstase was led from Floreasca hospital to Rahova Hospital prison, being implemented for penalty term.

The decision was challenged by Adrian Năstase's lawyers at the Court of Appeal.

Former prime minister has made statements, but he said at the entrance of the Court of Appeal that he feels better.

Adrian Năstase was applauded in the courtroom of some of those present, including family members and members of the Social Democratic Party.

On July 17, Adrian Năstase has been transferred from Rahova Hospital prison to Jilava hospital prison because of chronic medical conditions suffered by being housed in the Department of Internal Medicine, with another person deprived of liberty, in a room equipped with six beds and bathroom.

On June 20, Adrian Năstase was sentenced by the High Court of Cassation and Justice to two years imprisonment in the "Trophy Quality" case, in which he has been charged regarding the fundraising for the 2004 electoral campaign when he ran for the Presidency of the PSD.
