Interpol red notice of arrest against Silviu Ionescu suspended


SINGAPORE: Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo said Monday Interpol’s Red Notice of arrest against Silviu Ionescu has been suspended.

This is due to disagreement between the two countries as to whether the Romanian diplomat had immunity at the time of accident last December.

During question time, Mr Yeo revealed that the Romanian Foreign Ministry sent Singapore a Third Party Note on Friday, asserting that Dr Ionescu’s diplomatic immunity continues.

"We are puzzled as it seems to imply that Romania is now claiming that Dr Ionescu was engaged in official duties at the time of the accident and we do not understand how this can possibly be the case," Mr Yeo explained.

"On the other hand, reports in the Romanian media suggest that some of Dr Ionescu’s assets had been seized and the Romanian police may be preparing to arrest him. We have not been unable to confirm these reports.

"But the Romanian Police has informed Interpol that the competence to prosecute Dr Ionescu remains with Romania and the criminal proceedings against him have started in Romania for crimes committed in Singapore."

Nonetheless, Mr Yeo, who met his Romanian counterpart at the Vatican a few days ago, said the Romanian government has been acting properly in Dr Silveo Ionescu’s case.

He said Singapore has to allow them time to go through their own internal procedures.

"I believe the Romanian Government understands this and would not see the entire country’s name tarnished by the actions of one rogue diplomat," Mr Yeo said. "Romania is a member state of the EU, which prides itself on its reputation as a community of values.

"Despite the impatience that we feel, we must however be disciplined and carefully observe due process. We are a country that respects the law and this reputation is an invaluable asset we must preserve by handling the case calmly in accordance with our legal system and international legal obligations.

"Now that the Romanian Authorities have begun their criminal investigations aginst Dr Ionescu we must give them time to complete these investigations and not prejudge the outcome."

Mr Yeo said he hopes officials and legal experts from both sides could meet soon, under a joint working group that has been formed for this purpose.

Singapore is also engaging a lawyer to hold a watching brief in Romania.

Parody based on Yes Minister, 80s British sitcom:

Minister : So now, it's your job to advise me, now advise. What should we do?

Perm Sec : There're several options open.

Minister : (Eyes gleaming up) Yes, yes, what?

Perm Sec : We could lodge an Interpol report.

Minister : We did that, but it's suspended now.

Perm Sec : I see. We could cut off foreign aids.

Minister : Cut what? We don't give foreign aids to them.

Perm Sec : I see. We could send in some air force bombers to bomb them. I do recall, minister, you were air force brigadier-general.

Minister : It's tens of thousands of miles away. Our air force couldn't even pass Indian Ocean. Damn that navy rear admiral, never got an aircraft carrier.

Perm Sec : I see. We could severe diplomatic ties. Expel them all diplomats.

Minister : It's an EU member country! How to severe ties?

Perm Sec : I see. Perhaps you can issue a statement in Parliament to puzzle them.

Minister : Is it? How?

Perm Sec : As usual, just say that you're puzzled. They'd be as puzzled as you're.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diplomatic immunity is a form of legal immunity and a policy held between governments, which ensures that diplomats are given safe passage and are considered not susceptible to lawsuit or prosecution under the host country's laws (although they can be expelled).

It was agreed as international law in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), though the concept and custom have a much longer history. Many principles of diplomatic immunity are now considered to be customary law.

Diplomatic immunity as an institution developed to allow for the maintenance of government relations, including during periods of difficulties and even armed conflict. When receiving diplomats — who are, formally, representatives of the sovereign — the receiving head of state grants certain privileges and immunities to ensure that they may effectively carry out their duties, on the understanding that these will be provided on a reciprocal basis.

Originally, these privileges and immunities were granted on a bilateral, ad hoc basis, which led to misunderstandings and conflict, pressure on weaker states, and an inability for other states to judge which party was at fault.

Various international agreements known as the Vienna Conventions codified the rules and agreements, providing standards and privileges to all states.

It is possible for the official's home country to waive immunity; this tends to only happen when the individual has committed a serious crime, unconnected with their diplomatic role (as opposed to, say, allegations of spying), or has witnessed such a crime.

Alternatively, the home country may prosecute the individual. Many countries refuse to waive immunity as a matter of course; individuals have no authority to waive their own immunity (except perhaps in cases of defection).

Do not blame GY lah. Singapore has gone by the book and now it is case of whether Romania will protect this diplomat and how much Singapore wants to pursuit the case.

If Singapore wants to satnd firm, they can break diplomatic relationship, get EU to apply pressure etc.

A bit like Indonesia wanting back their billionaire fugitives but Singapore will not allow. Nothing much indonesia can do about it.

You fuck with Count Dracula, you get turned into a bat.

 

[red amoeba]

aiya .. we know from day one that we are powerless to do anything to that fucker once he scoot off. Actually even if he is still holing up in the embassy, our poodles also cannot chiong in and grab him - all becos of diplo immunity.

then, why not admit in the parliment that we are powerless and move on? MFA makes adequate compensation to those affected and allow them to let the matter rest. Becos in reality, there is nothing we can do. You think we are China? Romania thumb their nose at us. We are nothing to them !

This reminds me of late Qing dynasty peasants who had no idea of the concept and protocol of diplomatic immunity. They're uncomfortable with the flouting of wealth and power of foreign diplomats, and foreign traders coat-tailing behind. Instead of just ignoring them and getting on with life, they escalated incidences up to violence and up to ganging up to attack foreign embassies, considered foreign territories and therefore an act of war, leading to the 8-nation invasion of China up to Beijing.

Diplomatic immunity and embassy terroritorial rights are reciprocal. That is, Qing diplomats and embassies abroad were accorded the same immunity and rights. Just as Singapore diplomats and embassy in Romania are accorded the same.

It's ironic since the ancient Chinese were one of the earliest inventors of this concept as in 两国向争不斩来使。Errant diplomats must be returned to the countries they represent to deal with. The maximum under diplomatic immunity is expulsion.

George Yeo with his fake smile is a pathetic human being! When reading his reply in parliament yesterday, the IDIOT actually had to read from a written script something as simple nd basic as his reply was to the query on te missing Romanian.

I don't give a damn what scholoarship he had years ago, but he truly acts and behaves like an imbecile:oIo:!

KNNCCB! George Yeo! Where is Jackass Neo? Where is your sense of morality and honesty? Your fake smiles are a pathetic show of your idiocy. You think people can't see through you? :oIo:

I can find body language experts who will show your dishonesty clearly!

Invasion by Europeans was due to a weak and divided China. Nothing to do with issues of diplomatic immunity. Iran captured and kept US embassy staff for over a year and US could not do a thing. All they could do was to have economic sanctions.

In many of these situations the most is break off diplomatic relationship

In late Qing era, the western incursion is about trading and profits. There was no intention of invasion and conquest (unlike the intention of Japan). Yes, they forcefully insisted on diplomatic relationships to facilitate trading and profits. Qing was too weak to refuse. Qing couldn't break off diplomatic relationships. It was forced upon them by treaties obtained through minor miscellaneous war victories here and there, yes.

Japan suffered the same fate earlier. But Japan dealt with that differently and became one of them, a power of that era, the only Asian power.

Someone asked why the SG immigration could not have prevented Ionescu from leaving SG, but without actually arresting him, after they knew his car was involved in the fatal accident.
The answer is that SG decided to go through "due process", which in the minds of most sensible and rational countries and individuals, is actually the right way to go about it.
Unfortunately, Ionescu was certainly not going to wait for any "due process", and he fled and remains free as a bird.
