The Court in Medgidia decided on Friday to release Gigi Becali on probation. The decision is not definitive and prosecutors already filed an appeal, so the “warrior of light” is supposed to await the appeal to be tried.
Had prosecutors not appealed the decision of the Court of Medgidia to approve the request of release on probation, Gigi Becali would have been free on Tuesday. The appeal will be tried by the Appeal Court in Constanta.

They will release him, they have to set him free, because he harmed no one, he only did good things. God wants us to be could”, Gigi Becali’s mother declared before entering the church.
