SINGAPORE: The trial of former Romanian diplomat Silviu Ionescu resumed on Wednesday in Bucharest.
The judge handling the trial has expressed displeasure with the defence lawyer for dragging the case over three years.
He noted that the submission of evidence should have been long finished, but Ionescu's lawyer has asked for yet another witness to be heard.
Ionescu's lawyer replied that the blame lies with the Singapore authorities, which have been "slow to send the requested evidence".
Ionescu, 51, the former Romanian charge d'affaires in Singapore, is on trial for two hit-and-run accidents in Singapore in 2009, which left one person dead and two others injured.
