Back in January we made a few predictions for the coming year. Not all of them have so far been entirely accurate (though the year is still young), but today, one proved to be spot on.

We said that Anamaria Straus, a wealthy business woman who killed a young student, Tatiana Duplei, on Sos. Kiseleff last year (Straus did not stop at a pedestrian crossing) would not serve a prison sentence.

This morning she was sentenced to two years in prison. Suspended, of course. She also has to pay €135,000 to the student’s family, the kind of money we would assume wealthy people like Straus no doubt have in change down the back of the sofa. She will also, poor thing, have to attend some road safety classes.

The Romanian justice system. Dontcha just love it?
