In an interview with ‘Evenimentul Zilei’ newspaper, the former leader of Valea Jiului miners, who did some time behind bars for the 1991 miners’ riots in Bucharest, lashed out at former president Ion Iliescu. “When I will become president, I want to send him to prison for his crimes!” he said. Miron Cozma was sentenced and did 11 years in jail for undermining the state authority. Married to former playmate Marinela Nitu, Cozma announced two months ago that he wants to run for president of Romania in spite of his criminal record.
