Dumitru Tinu case re-opens

From the International Herald Tribune,

Prosecutors on Monday exhumed the body of an influential Romanian journalist after years of speculation over his death in an auto accident in 2003. An inquest found that Dumitru Tinu, the managing director and majority owner of influential daily Adevarul, died after losing control of his car, which skidded and overturned on an icy road on Jan. 1, 2003…
…During the communist years, Tinu served as a correspondent and later foreign editor for the Communist Party newspaper Scanteia. He covered the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia and, in the 1980s, Poland’s Solidarity movement. Romania was one of the few Warsaw pact countries to condemn the invasion. link
