The former head of the Lastaras Public Association will stay behind bars. The Appeals Court rejected the lawyer's appeal, which asked for his client's freedom of investigation.

The man was detained by the Anticorruption Center officers on 25 September, accused of organizing a scheme to raise up to 600,000 lei each month from his parents.

Prosecutors say that the kindergarten administration was collecting money for extracurricular activities that did not even happen.

After searches, sums of money in different currencies were found. The man is placed in custody for 30 days in penitentiary no. 13.
