Police officers in the capital conducted 11 searches in Bucharest and Ilfov on Tuesday morning to find the individuals who took part in the brawl in the emergency room of Pantelimon Hospital. The activities involve a helicopter and tracking dogs.
All those involved in the scandal have been identified, but the identification of witnesses continues.
One of the individuals involved has been detained for attempted murder and is being presented to the Ilfov Tribunal with a proposal for preventive arrest.
The searches related to the Pantelimon scandal are coordinated by the chief of the Capital Police, Chief Commissioner Bogdan Berechet himself.
Additionally, the activities in Ilfov are coordinated by the chief inspector of the Ilfov County Police, Police Commissioner Mădălina Moşoiu.
Police officers from Sector 2, with the support of the Violent Crime Groups Service, Police from Sector 3, the Special Actions Service, the Canine Police, as well as together with the Bucharest General Directorate of Gendarmerie, executed 11 home search warrants in Bucharest and Ilfov County in a criminal case under investigation for disturbing public order and peace and assault or other violence.
The main suspects have been captured and taken in for questioning, stated Chief Commissioner Bogdan Berechet on Antena3.
Eight individuals involved have been picked up and taken in for questioning. Furthermore, several objects used during the conflict have been confiscated, and the investigations have been expanded to include possession of bladed weapons, as reported by News.ro.
This concerns the violent incident on Saturday between two families in the town of Pantelimon, which continued at the hospital. After the brawl, six individuals were detained by prosecutors, out of the 19 identified as participants in the scandal.
The investigations are ongoing for disturbing public order and peace and assault or other violence, under the supervision of the Prosecutor's Office attached to Sector 2 Court.
Police intervened on Saturday after being notified by representatives of Pantelimon Hospital about a brawl that broke out in the emergency room of the facility.
From the checks made, a reasonable presumption arose that, following a conflict that allegedly took place between two families in the town of Pantelimon, several people were injured. Subsequently, the victims would have arrived at Pantelimon Hospital, where other individuals with various blunt objects would have also arrived.
During the altercation, a monitor in the emergency room was reportedly destroyed. When the police arrived, the suspected individuals had left the medical facility.
