The Romanian Chamber of Deputies has adopted a bill that states that drivers guilty of manslaughter who are found to be drunk and without a driver’s license will go directly to prison.
The catalyst for the Anastasia Law was a devastating event that occurred on June 1, when a 4-year-old girl named Anastasia lost her life in front of her own house. The driver responsible for the accident was not only intoxicated but also lacked a valid driver’s license.
Under the provisions of the new law, drivers who are found guilty of manslaughter while drunk and without a valid driver’s license will face direct imprisonment.
