Severin, a former foreign minister, has always maintained his innocence but a Romanian court convicted the 62-year-old in February and sentenced him to three years.
Severins, kurš ir arī bijušais Rumānijas ārlietu ministrs, bija pārsūdzējis februārī Rumānijas tiesas pieņemto spriedumu, ar kuru viņam tika piespriesti trīs gadi cietumā.
